To say I am thrilled with this change is an understatement! Yesterday, I transplanted my current herb garden to the area we demo'd last weekend. It was a ridiculous amount of work from the digging, cultivating, covering, weeding, digging again and finally planting but in the end, the result looks fantastic. It's so late in the season, I hope these herbs I've moved will make it through - I've got two varieties of sage, thyme, oregano, two varieties of lavender, rosemary, sweet basil, Thai basil and chives. And the best part is, these guys have room to grow. I can't wait for next year!
The last step to finishing this area is to fill in the empty space around the bird bath. I'm probably going to end up with just a ground cover...I am thinking elfin thyme, it's like a carpet of tiny flowers in the spring and the green leaves are lush and abundant. That will have to wait for now while I figure out the best time to plant....any thoughts? I think I am also ordering this
seed starting system
and this
guide book
to help me get ready for next year. I'm like a kid at Christmas...
