An update:
The Herb Garden
Planted so far: Oregano, Chives, Sage, Parsley, Mint (in planter)
Still to come: Thyme (June 15), Rosemary (June 1), Dill (mid-summer), more Mint
The Planters
Planted so far (and hopefully all we need):
- Near the doors: hostas + impatiens
- Walkway entrance: violets + black eyed susan + marigolds
Raised Bed Next to Deck Gate
There used to be this really cool kind of vining/flowering thing there that had these enormous seed pods that looked like something out of a science fiction movie. I loved it but I guess some didn’t and the club cut it down this year. My thought is to put in giant sunflowers with maybe mums + marigolds–make it really colorful.
- Giant Sunflowers (June 1)
- Marigolds (June 1)
First, though, the box for the bed needs to be completely rebuilt and some big roots chain-sawed out of it. Would like to do that this weekend.
Vegetable Beds
These are the beds on either side of the entrance gate. Their primary residents will be warm weather veggies and herbs (tomatoes/peppers/basil, maybe some cukes)–things that normally don’t go in the ground until at least Memorial Day around these parts. Nothing permanent planted in either so far although the bed on the right looking out has some tulips and hostas planted in previous years.
