As promised the other day...I finally have some pictures of my herb spiral and my patio garden.

New Herb Spiral
|
So far I have two basils, rosemary, an interesting fuzzy oregano, cilantro (coriander,) and lemon thyme. I will be adding a Greek oregano and possibly a nice plain chive to fill the bottom space. I haven't quite thought of what to fill the surrounding area with yet. I am leaning towards some bright flowers since there's so much green!

| Patio Garden |
The above is my patio garden, which this year is mostly vegetables. I will be filling in all the empty space with annual flowers though, as I can't NOT have color!!! Who loves that ugly fence as much as me?
The far corner is the catnip grove as I call it, it has 6-8 bushes that will grow about 3-4 ft. each. The stuff is very potent, according to my cat, Stickee. Our mild winter had a couple little volunteer bushes that grew near the steps and my cat escaped one day and we found him 6 ft. from the door, in the snow, chomping on some freeze-dried catnip :) I will probably sell some this fall, as I have some ideas for some cute little cat toys.
***Update: after the vast amount of rain and heat this past weekend, everything in the gardens grew about 1-2 inches! I also have a pea flower! Can't wait to eat those. It's been an amazing spring, as we'd usually be just starting to plant! I love having a jump start.
