I purchased quite a few herbs on this last road trip. The Herbal Husband has relinquished his veggie garden to me. So I have had to share space with a few of his leftovers, garlic and a lot of goldenrod! Oh and a lot of weedy grasses!

So I put in Mexican sages, a milkweed called 'Hello Yellow', 'Lemon Gem' marigolds, 'Moonshine' yarrow, a perennial bachelor button called 'Amethyst Dream', verbena bonariensis which I hope will self-sow and gray santolina. Hopefully everything will coexist.

Oh and we have a new resident under the pine trees. A young fawn! Hope it will not find the new garden too enticing! The Herbal Husband cut some scapes from the garlic and spread it around the perimeter of the garden. It was a beautiful day in the 'Burgh. Not too hot and had a little breeze. Perfect for planting. Hope you are having a great weekend. Talk to you tomorrow.
You added some great plants to your new garden space.

Thanks dear FL! Hope you had a wonderful day today too! xo
ReplyDeleteLove that little dear! Do you cook with the garlic scapes?
ReplyDeleteNo Rosemary we don't. I think it would cause too much gastric distress for both of us! And The Herbal Husband would be a bit too musical! That is never a good thing! I have seen recipes for the scapes sauteed in butter or olive oil and served over pasta. xo
ReplyDeleteWe have a doe that visits regularly :( She ate all of the sweet corn but lately has been preoccupied with the compost pile and leaving the plants alone. Hopefully she'll stick to the compost pile.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how they operate isn't it? And just when you thought they have lost interest they will level that plant you love. We are trying desperately to plant plants mostly herbs that they are not interested in! Thanks for stopping by as always, dear Carol! xo
