Wife and I are growing #herbs on the back deck, and this year we’re trying Thai basil in addition to the big-leaf basil. The thai variety is growing so much more vigorously, and has added an interesting anise flavor to the dishes we’ve used it in. My wife also used some rosemary in a loaf of sourdough.

We’ve also got some yellow pear tomatoes, jalapeños, and a Mortgage Lifter tomato. Fingers crossed the tomatoes won’t rot as they ripen this time…. #gardening
