Almost exactly a month since my garden has been in, I have been able to reap some of the benefits. The herbs are thriving (especially the lemon balm and chamomile) and beans are growing high! We ate the onions and radishes in the salad last night. I was pleased that the radishes were peppery but not bitter hot. Must be due to the small size. Can't wait for my tomatoes and carrots to start showing!

Trying to find a good resource to find out how to "infuse" the oils and teas with the herbs. It will definitely be a trial and error sort of thing when I blend different herbs and find out some don't match too well. A few combinations I know will work:
- lavender+mint
- rosemary+mint
- chamomile+lavender
- mint+basil
I still have sage, lemon balm and oregano to add to the arrangement... please let me know if you have any reccomendations, requests, or thoughts.
