Garden Update May 8 '11

We spent Mother's Day tending gardens...mine and my mom's. I had hopes of setting in two large raised patches in our yard, but as there is an active paving project in progress we thought it best to wait another week. Sigh.

I did sow more containers, with edible flowers, radishes, beets, a "privacy screen" of tall grasses (grow grow grow!!), an elephant ear bulb, and some echinacea. And I acquired some basil, rosemary and oregano at the herb sale - all of which went right into pots of rich organic soil.

I am also playing with the arrangements of the various planters, to maximise yields and to garner a wee bit more privacy (our deck is open to all eyes on 3 sides - it can be a bit annoying until the plants fill in).
What is started in your garden?
