August 2026 Message from the President
As always, Herbies rise to the challenge! When our talk about Keystone plants got moved to September, you all stepped up to share your favorite herb recipes and tips. I hope you all enjoyed the many ways we can use herbs, and got a few tips on preparation and uses. We all love to find new ways to enjoy for the herbs we love.
This break in the heat is great, but we have several more months in our growing season, so don't forget to plant a few more rows. Some of the herbs can handle fall heat with a bit of shade, so don't be afraid to plant at the end of August for some late-season leafy crops of basil or sage. Savor these cool mornings in the garden - we all know it is good for us to putter in the company of our plants!
Kitty Stewart, President
