Planning My Garden
My backyard flower bed has been taken over by my rosemary bushes. And they're so hale and hearty that I'm going to graft some and put rosemary in my front flower beds, along the front of the house, like regular bushes would be. My parents' place in South Texas had rosemary bushes tall as a little kid - big, fat and bushy. And the smell of rosemary is amazing! And this past spring, I tilled up my smaller flowerbed in the backyard and tossed out some wildflower seeds that I bought for $1 for a pretty big box at Walgreens. And they took! And it was wild and crazy and beautiful. So my flowers for filling my front bed, and the smaller one behind will be wildflowers this year. More carefully selected perhaps, but no less wildly strewn. And if I'm lucky, I'll have landscape without hassle! And I'm going to grow tomatoes up off the ground away from the dogs, probably in a raised cart or bench with a box on top. And I'll watch for pests and fertilize like you're
