The Essential Earthman: Henry Mitchell on Gardening | Henry Mitchell

Rooster friend at the plant nursery where I get my herby annuals. AND they had some bay laurels this year, so I will be able to grow my own bay leaves forever!!!!!

Sorry. I get really excited about culinary plants in the spring. ☘️🌿🌱🍃🌾

tournevis As well you should get excited! 5y

Aimeesue @tournevis See, that's what I think. My kids are all "Gosh, basil. Again. Yay." ? 5y

tournevis @Aimeesue But, think of all the pesto you'll make! 5y

LeahBergen He looks a little stern and full of himself. 😆😆 5y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen Hé grabbed my pants leg and tried to peck me when I was checking out. Guess I offended him in some way. Or he just hates the paparazzi. ? 5y

Essential Earthman (Mariner Books) | Henry Mitchell

In spring,my fancies turn to thoughts of gardening. And as I have not lived around here long enough to have any sense of when to plant things, I‘ve been reading Henry Mitchell.
I bought a used copy several months ago. I was reading it today, and out fell a beautiful watercolor bookmark. Fleurs. Perfect. 🌺🌸🌼🌻

Aimeesue NB: I am the laziest gardener ever. I want my yard planted with perennials that basically take care of themselves. I would like it if vegetables could do the same, but alas, I must eat more than rhubarb and asparagus 5y

Centique @Aimeesue I sympathise! My garden is full of agaves which need no care at all 😆 We do a small vege garden too (zucchini, cucumber, tomatoes usually) but the kids water and harvest that. 5y

Aimeesue @Centique My dream is to have an edible landscape around my house. I already have rhubarb, raspberries, violets, mint, and hostas. This year I'm putting in roses (that bear hips well,) more hostas, a redbud tree, an asparagus bed, and, in the fall, tulips. And maybe a persimmon tree, though the deer would probably get that.
