I am SO ready to get into the garden! I LOVE to be out in the fresh air digging, planting and re-arranging my garden. I've posted some pictures here of the garden in the early stages from last May. A lot of the plants will be in their 3rd or 4th year this year so I expect some beautiful flowers this season. I also planted, which you can't see, a couple of peonies. I hope they bloom this year! I have great memories of the peony at my Grandma West's old 2-story house. It was so beautiful every year and smelled wonderful. I miss that old house!! Grandma and Grandpa are still with us (in their 80's) and I am thankful for that!
I have, what I call, a cottage garden. It doesn't look exactly like what I see in the gardening magazines with the white picket fences and all but I still like the look of it. I usually have tomatoes, zucchini and herbs planted right in with the flowers. This year though, I am going to build a raised bed for vegetables. I'm really excited about this and can't wait to get started.
I like the look of it too. I am really into garden veggies. I plant the same things as you. We have an extensive herb garden that Bob made. LOVE IT. It makes such a huge difference in the taste of our food!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri. What types of herbs do you have? I'm looking to expand my herb garden this year. I have planted chives, rosemary, lemon balm (sort of a mistake) and cilantro...didn't have much luck with the cilantro though.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbors have a huge layered herb garden. They have all kinds of green thumbs. I cannot wait to see more green. Even if it's just water grass and it's green!!
