Hi folks, well, I have some pictures to share.
I moved here in mid April this year (worst time to get into a new garden, if you ask me but so it goes!) and didn't really get moving here until maybe July?
I have more plans than I have results, in other words. My cousin has done a lot here and she is too busy to really keep up with things. Added to the fact that a huge tree came down a year or two ago and changed things greatly, removing any shade from one side of the yard.
This is that side, in full sun:
That far end of the bed, offscreen in that shot, was empty and sandy and had some scraggly violets and (still there) a few iris that did poorly, lots of grass... and a fig start next to a dragon statuette, LOL!
I've reclaimed it for herbs and we have a large patch of coreopsis starting there, most from seed. The iris will eventually be moved as will the one daylily (a Stella d'Oro).
(I didn't get most of the herbs in that shot, I have parsley and oregano a bit further along that are doing beautifully. You can just see the little fig leaves behind the dragon's head.)
