Our March meeting was a wonderful look at all the edible weeds that grow so conveniently for our use, both as food and for medicinal purposes. Thank you to Kelly Knox for a great presentation.  We look forward to our April field trip to the UC Davis Arboretum, and our May Tea Party.  I hope you are finding time to get out in your garden as the rain becomes less often and the warm spring days start our herbs all growing. I have started some basil seeds indoors, and am looking forward to planting soon.

 

Our Herb Society has done well with our Adopt-A-Spot and Niche entries in the El Dorado County Fair in the past few years. It would be great if you consider entering some of your herbs in the Fair, to show off how beautiful herbs can be and to encourage the public to try growing herbs at home. We need ideas for our niche this year, so please let me know if you have an idea, or would like to help us set up a niche. We love to see all the great ideas that come out of our group. We have until June, so put on your thinking caps!

 

And remember, our plant exchange is in May at the Tea Party, so think about starting some seeds or potting up any extra plants that you have popping up, especially those that are in an unwanted spot. Your fellow Herbies will be glad to take them off your hands!

 

See you all soon!
