While I'm giving our big garden plans a hiatus for this year (sadness), I am bingeing hard on herbs. There are the classics, like basil and oregano, but I'm also snagging some chamomile, stevia, lemon balm, and cilantro. I don't know about you, but I fresh herbs is one of my absolute favorite things about summer.
I'm thinking lettuce needs to be in the mix as well, since I have tremendous luck with it on my porch.
Why the big garden hiatus? Well, we put up a fence last summer...
Well hello there, handsome builder of fences!
I was a bazillion weeks pregnant at the time.
Well, the fence changed the shape of our property a bit, and gave us more space than we thought we initially had (no complaints about that!), so we are taking a season to pay close attention to drainage, sun exposure, and test the soil in spots to determine if we're going to go with raised beds or not. We also need to mind the child/dog traffic to see if our plants will be safe from trampling.
Planning, planning, planning!
