My little herb garden is still growing with the mild days and cool (but not freezing) nights. The dill, sage, marigold, sweet grass and lavender all did nicely in my hillbilly old tire planters. The sweet grass is nice when braided and drying in the house, plus it also imparts this nice sweet herbal smell when burnt like incense (in a non-combustible bowl!). If I can salvage some topsoil from the pile and a few cedar posts, I will make a little larger raised garden next year for tomatoes and other northern friendly vegetables. It seems the trick to this is a solar powered 3 to 4 wire electric fence, this keeps the creatures who also like these crops from indulging in domesticated gardens.
