They were a bit late but still delicious. I picked the first (12) beans this morning from my community garden plot. Watered, onions and garlic coming along as are the sunflowers. I get asked why I grow sunflowers and I say, one I love how they look, two, the bees love them, and three for the seeds.
Happy gardening.

Three Herbs for An Indoor Windowsill Garden
My top choices:
Parsley – You will most commonly see parsley used as a garnish and it does work well but be sure to eat it and not toss it away. Parsley is very versatile and will look great on your windowsill I use parsley in salads, stews, omelets, and soups, for example.
Sweet Basil – Sweet basil will add a pleasant aroma to your and a deep and spicy flavour to your food. It is essential for Italian cooking and Thai dishes. You can use sweet basil in tomato sauce and in stir fries for example.
Chives - Chives are one of my favorites, chives are a relative of the onion and bring that extra zip to any dish that needs it. The purple flowers are quite attractive and edible. Chopped chives can be added to salads, egg and cheese dishes, cream cheese, mashed potatoes, and sauces.

Two Useful Gardening Books
Goo day, this is an excerpt from this Friday's August 5 From My Garden appearing in the Tribune.
My book collection about gardening and related subjects seems to grow faster than my gardens do. My preference, for the most part, is for works published 50 to 70 years ago, when no one used the word organic to describe growing flowers, fruits, vegetables, and herbs. There was no need to add the adjective organic because it was the only way to grow.
