The garden saga has most spots in the garden full or ready to be filled with seedlings I currently have growing. I do want to research some herbs and spices that make great teas. I want to make sure that the herbs I plant don\u2019t have a tendency to overrun the garden like mints do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added cilantro, Serrano, mad hatter and Ancho chili peppers. I love having a variety to make different dishes but also mke a nice pepper relish like my dad used to make. I added the cilantro and Serrano peppers Saturday and the mad hatter and ancho chili peppers Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now most of my gardening will be weeding, re-positioning and maintaining of my drip system. For instance today I switched out a rotating drip sprinkler for a bubbler on a high mount and replaced a bubbler with a down spray sprinkler which I may go to more as they focus all the water down from a nice height instead of sideways with a spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I harvested my first tomato of the season and have some jalapeno peppers looking pretty nice that I will pick in the coming week or days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also put down some spray grass seeds in my grass strips in the backyard and repaired some sprinklers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
