Josh’s Garden, Phase III

Posted by Running Chick in Gardening & Landscaping

I took shovel to ground today and dug away at the last section of Josh's side garden.  This is a really large section, so I decided to break it up into thirds to make it less  daunting.  This section was pretty much devoid of the giant rocks from the last two sections (yay!), but the majority of it was sod and a tangle of miscellaneous plants that made for lots of root-pulling and digging. Boo. Anyway, here's what it looked like before I started poking away at it.

 

Here's what it looks like now:

 

In the far back corner is a peony plant that I dug up from a spot where the garage is going to go.  They can be a bit finicky so I’m really hoping that it takes to this new spot.

 

The front corner has a tomato plant that some nutty lady gave me for visiting her garage\book sale.  She even had a name for the plant, it was “Helen”.  Helen is comfortably residing in the front position.

 

I relocated the herbs I originally planted in the first section of the side garden to this new spot.  Josh is planning on fixing the wall soon and needs the work space, so all the thyme and sage have been moved to their permanent home. 

Their old spot is looking rather naked.

 

BTW, the herbs are looking really good. We should be ready to harvest the first batch in a couple of weeks. I hope Josh makes me something yummy for all my efforts! :-D

 

Finally, on a semi-unrelated note, Josh’s apple tree is bursting with apples.

 
Tune back in toward the end of September to see if Josh can resurrect the ancient cider press he bought at an antique store.

In other other news, OMG my house is crumbling away. Anyway, yes, Nancy, I will make you some pasta and stuff with the herbs. Mmm.
