One reason my TO DO list for the garden beds this year was sooo long is that the kitchen/herb garden was enlarged. Oregano, lavender, lemon balm and a butterfly bush were undisturbed. The retaining wall was reconfigured for 30% + larger space. This ground squirrel view of the new space is nearly a blank canvas.
New kitchen/herb garden
Warm, sunny fall weekend days are perfect for planting. Last week I planted rue (herb used in Mexican recipes), “arp” rosemary (supposed to be perennial) and astilbe (flower). This weekend I found yarrow and cardinal flowers. All five are new experiments for me.
