Well, after having to remove half of the pavers in our entry, it seems that most of the bamboo has been removed. That was no small job! I have leveled most of the garden, made sketches of the basic layout, and am now on to the fun part - the planning! So far, these are the flowers I want to add~
These fairy roses above will line one side of the garden. I want to add all sorts of cut flowers, and then the herbs/vegetables will fill a 6' x 8' section in the center. I am trying to decide, with the odd shape of the garden, if I want to do something with rows or something that is round and has a bit of a *wheel* look to it. So far, for the herb list, I have the following:basil
oregano
thyme
chives
rosemary - which won't be part of the center as it gets so large!
dill
cilantro
french taragon
two types of parsley
two types of mint - in pots of course!
lemon verbena - also large and not part of the center
hhmmm... something seems to be missing... thoughts?
I will keep you posted as I make progress!

Can I suggest my favourite herb...tree actually..bay..
I use it in stews, especially with game cooked in wine...bay leaves are so Medditerreanean..and you can shape it in any form you like!!!

Thank you for taking us on this journey with you! I think each of those flowers are gorgeous and love the herbs too! This is coming from a girl who has a hard time keeping her office plant alive, but ever so curious about getting my hands in the dirt to create wonder, smile!
I am excited to see how this comes to fruition for you!
Oh your garden sounds wonderful! I can't wait to see it.
Have you ever had pineapple sage? It is easy to grow and grows tall. It gets a red flower on it towards the end of the season. I heard the flower you can use for baking. Yummm it smells just like a pineapple. When I'm out there I pinch a leave off just to smell it. smile... That reminds me I better keep my eye out for it to plant this year. It goes fast at the nurseries.
Have a golden day! xoxo
Such gorgeous photos! That's a lovely garden you have there!
Your photos are gorgeous! I loved the delicate pink peony. The last house I lived in, I had peonies under the big oaktree, in my backyard next to the wooden deck porch. Thank you for taking me back to a lovely memory.
