Three things on Tuesday:

1) harvested nine trays of herbs from the greenhouse today: basil, lemon verbena, oregano, marjoram, thyme, sage, lemon balm and white horehound. Later we added chamomile, mullein, spearmint and calendula. Not bad for a moderate-to-severe drought in July;
2) the grocery store had our favorite black forest cake! 🥮 It doesn't compare to what we had in Bavaria, but nothing ever will;
3) purple hibiscus is blooming 💜
