Our complex's lawn maintenance was here today.

[Backseat Driver]

13. Some of the herbs came back:

The guy missed the curry entirely; the mint has resprouted (impossible to really kill); the parsley returned, the dill is bushy now instead of two 1/2 ft stalks but no flower; the stevia held on. Gone entirely and never to return: the rosemary, the cilantro, the basil, and the sorrel. Backseat Driver wept for weeks but has been rewarded for the TLC and at least 4 quarts of tomato sauce and 6 packages of freezer pickles with garden red and green pepper. Also got a bunch of carrots I wasn't expecting. Even the celery stalks were tasty though very skinny and leafy. A couple more weeks, and we'll put the garden to bed and take the patio cushions in for my most favorite season, fall!
