Yes, grass pathways. This garden started out as raised beds for veggies when the boys were young, and I did a lot of canning and freezing. The raised beds fell by the wayside (we used the barked outer slabs of lumber from a local sawmill which eventually rotted) and when the boys left home the veggie garden was just too huge for two people. Rather than sticking with the prior straight rows of beds, we reconfigured it to a labyrinth of sorts and I've been adding herbs as I find them. The standard culinary ones were easy enough, and I just keep my eye peeled for others to add in. Often I have no idea what the growth pattern is like, so there has been a fair amount of reshuffling things to try to get a nice mix of color and form. Many of the medicinal herbs seem to have smallish pale purple flowers and/or lots of foliage. But then one can throw in a bright poppy here and there for a bright spot of color. It's all been very fun. The purple bench is our favorite spot for an early evening beverage.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
