The herb beds

I was a busy girl over the weekend. I stay in a constant state of feeling overwhelmed with the goals I set for the garden this season, but I am enjoying it immensely despite that fact. One of my big priorities this season was to get my herb garden up and going. I really got used to going out and picking whatever fresh herbs I needed at the last house and have sorely missed it when playing in the kitchen. I still need to find a place for tarragon, but I am sure that will be forthcoming in the next few weeks. The rosemary is in another garden area since it gets so big.
In this bed are stella de oro daylillies, greek oregano, lemon thyme, wood ferns and oxalis. Also, much of the time during "outside time" there can also be a Sadie planted behind the cedar tree.
She wasn't very happy with me when I added a row of bricks and stinky cedar mulch, but it only took a day before she was back to curling up in one of her favorite outside lounge spots.



This little spot just seemed perfect for easy access from the kitchen. You can see where I started to dig up the grass in a spot above and I got distracted by a shiny object and have not gotten back to finishing that project. I thought about re-using these rocks I took out of the herb bed as a border for above, but then I got these great free (best kind) landscaping bricks. I guess procrastination wasn't so bad since I think the bricks will look better. More of an update there soon.
In this bed I planted dill, sage, basil, flat leafed parsley ( we'll see how that does in July), and curly leafed parsley.
