The 2012 Garden is IN

Last weekend, while I recovered from a work-related trip to Franklin, VA, Danny put in this year's garden. No pots this year!

The lemon balm we got by accident a few years ago, and which we have grown to love, comes back every year with no help from us. In fact, the only thing hard about growing the lemon balm is keeping it cut back so it doesn't flower! Here's what that patch looks like just now.



Some morning glories have been planted alongside the lemon balm patch. One or two have sprouted so far.



Here's a shot of the bed that has tomato and stevia plants, along with peas that are starting from seed.



Same bed, another angle.



And Danny's pride: the pepper bed!




I love where he put this bench. So peaceful:




Last year, we tried planting ornamentals in the big box under the trees along the fence. It was a total fail. This year, Danny moved the bird feeders out there so that our patio will now stay clean. It is a big improvement.



More next week...
