starts

They are growing!! yah!
the zucchini and the pumpkin are reaching though so... hmm... I guess I should put them right in the window? Maybe the sun porch..
I had to replant the blushing susie and the nicotiana. They didn't come up the first time.
I planted white pumpkins this afternoon.
This is only the second time I've started plants so I'm still learning.. it's nice to see them getting their second set of leaves. :)

herb bed

In the spring of the first year we moved to this house, I took it upon myself to start clearing and reinventing the flower beds. In every house I've lived in the last 5 years, I've made some kind of an herb bed. The first time it was just a big pot.

Here I have a bigger space

Cleaning out the space. It was overgrown with irises. Huge clumps came out, all attached together..
All the big rocks were in or around so I reused them..

My grandma's garden gnomes stand guard.. :)

By summers end it had gone nuts! I didn't realize the silver mound would get so big so it took over the whole end of the bed. I will be moving it as soon as it's warm enough to make room for new parsley, basil and chive plants..
