The cold weather has effectively slowed the growth of my plants to a crawl, with the exception of the tomatoes, which are inside and ripening at an amazing pace. Tonight we will have ripe tomatoes in our fajitas made from (hopefully) home-made tortillas. I'll let you know how it goes ;).
An update on my rosemary -- I bet you thought it was dead didn't you? Well, after a very slow start and many people telling me it is well-nigh impossible to grow rosemary from seed I have two respectable, 5-6 inch seedlings and a couple of smaller plants. They haven't been enjoying the crappy weather, even inside, but the peppery smell of the rosemary is oh, so pungent when I brush up against one while watering! I can't wait to use some.
For all my vegetables that I can't grow at home I rely on local farmers' market throughout the summer. The Hillhurst-Sunnyside market is opening tomorrow -- you can read about it on my other blog at Fast Forward.
Time for some sun now Mother Nature. Pretty please?
