| Rebecca's New Herb Garden - 12/21/10 |
Having survived several frosty nights under the sheets, this herb garden was photographed as the car was idling in the driveway for our long trip home to Michigan. The previous day I had tidied a bit, removing the fallen leaves. The new soil was clean and pliable--oops, I meant friable* as one would expect from a professional mix. I am a little concerned that the many backyard squirrels will find it to be an ideal spot to bury their saved treasures. Also, by Michigan standards the location seemed too shady, but only time will answer that issue. It is serviced by the underground sprinkling system with a head emerging from the middle of the bed--probably strategically placed by the resident expert. (My highlighting turned it falsely blue). I like the angled placement of the two plots and the framing of the area with great rocks. It was nice to see green things growing again even if they needed to be tucked in a few times. Good job, Rebecca and Gustavo!
*Friable soil - easily crumbled--loose, open, un-compacted, well drained, allowing roots to expand and heavy rain or too much water to drain through easily
