This Spring, I was finally able to move my herb beds from a less than ideal corner bed and death strip by the side door to the beginnings of a new herb garden in front of the garden workshop/greenhouse we installed last summer.  All the planting for the year is finally done, I still have to add the gravel for the paths and work on the rock garden, ( Read more... )

Oh boy, I think I went a little overboard with the herbs (common names to simplify things ( Read more... )

I think I mentioned the new planters that I bought this year for the area by the side door.  Let me 'splain further.  For family use, we normally use the side door as our main entrance to the house.  It is right next to the parking area and leads into the mud room.  Until now, the area around that door has always attracted "stuff".  Basically, it ( Read more... )

Alright, let's see if I can post without repeating the same stuff I already posted three times before.  It's been a pretty good weekend gardening wise, although I didn't really expect it to be after taking a long, hard look at the weather.  We had night frosts all through Monday and the daytime temperatures weren't all that cheerful in the early ( Read more... )
