I've joined a gardening-for-newbies newsletter and it comes every day, which is a bit much, but it's good for me to learn a lot of stuff more quickly.

Today I learned two things:

1. No fertilizing flowers during the hottest days of summer. Just water.

2. I should be planting some basil, oregano, sage and thyme around this time since it will sprout quickly and hang on until fall.

So add that to my list of desires: herb garden seeds.
