Herbs and Butterflies In The Springtime




I love the springtime. To me, the awakening of Mother Nature with all her glory is a magnificent event, even though it happens every year.

We have a wide variety of herbs growing in containers in our greenhouse. Basil, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, chives, tarragon and mint are only a few. We also have lovage, lemon balm, stevia and lemon verbena. The butterflies seem to love the herbs.

Our greenhouse has become a favorite pit stop for the butterflies as well as lady bugs, mosquito hawks and crickets. Like I've said before the only regret we have about getting the greenhouse is that didn't get it six years ago.
