Today is very foggy, some of the foggiest I've seen since living here. Yesterday it was very sunny and spring-like day. The birds were out, the deer were playful, and I felt so happy because it felt like spring. Then today came, curling it's fist around the sunshine and covering the sky with a heavy cloak of fog. 
Oh well, I'm hoping that it will snow at least. We need as much water as possible for this drought! Rain or snow, I'm good, as long as it's water.
Ok, now you know the boring details of the weather. Time to move on.
If you've read my other blog, you will remember that this was my original list of herbs:
1. Basil
2. Dill
3. Sage
4. Chives
5. Thyme
6. Feverfew
7. Sunset hyssop
8. Bee balm
9. Lemon balm
10. Rugosa rose
11. Roman chamomile
12. Alpine strawberries
But I've changed the list to this instead:
1. Lemon Balm
2. Chamomile
3. Oregano
4. Ornamental grass
5. Lemon Basil
6. Mint
7. Clary Sage
8. Chives
9. Winter thyme
10. Dill
11. Feverfew
And the plants I'm adding to make my garden even better are:
1. Cat grass
2. Baby's Breath
4. Foxglove
5. Columbine
6. Wildflowers
Cat grass I'm adding because my cat adores grass and I'm hoping that by adding it to my garden, her scent and her presence will keep the little critters (bunnies, mice, voles, etc.) at bay.
Oh! My lemon basil seeds have sprouted, by the way 
I was so excited when I saw the sprouts. Now I'm just going to let them grow until spring. I read this long article on starting herbs in winter, and I at first was skeptical until I saw the woman (the author who wrote the article) had the same weather as us, and she even started her herbs earlier than I did. Her pictures were of her herbs in spring, and they were so nice and healthy, just by leaving them alone in milk jugs!
My chamomile is already in the milk jug as well, now I have two more milk jugs that can be used for more of my herb seeds. I'm also using deli meat containers; really anything that can be useable. 
Argh, my neck hurts. 
I'm guessing it's from the sudden change of weather. My muscles (legs, ankles, feet, etc.) always start to hurt whenever there's a change of weather 
Wishing you all a nice, productive time in your gardens 
Ciao
