The Herb Garden


Looks pretty magical to me, with the sun rays coming down to greet the freshly made herb garden planting beds (along the right side of the grass). I created a dirt path that starts at the old mill wheel and snakes through this bed...creating three raised burms for planting herbs, roses and a few perennials. Mint, Sage and a mysterious grass have planted their roots in the part closest the lawn so far. Behind are two rose bushes with a mass of orange daylilies between them. The third section (straight back) has Rosemary and Fireglow Euphorbia. It's going to be gorgeous! =) This morning I planted Narcissis, tall pink Tulips and Magic/Surprise lilies next to the rocks that guard the path behind the grass. Thyme is planted throughout all three areas, here and there. Everything wants to put on roots before winter arrives, so I am feeling some urgency to get everything in...but I am trying to plan it out a bit too, so for now the rest will have to wait.
