I too love my gardening
I have some rosemarry planted, well I planted it 2 yrs ago, and its doing great. I love fresh rosemarry in my food. Then this year my hubby and I had taken a garden that was ~1175 square feet and shrunk it down to ~500 square feet and then put raised beds in that and barked the rest of the walking areas. The rest of the yard is seeded for grass. We are so excited about this though because finally I have a garden I can handle! I have 6 tomato plants, 3 sweet 100 cherry, 1 sweet one million (which I heard was awesome) cherry and 2 early cascades. Then I also have some Chives which I have had forever and I just keep transplanting them. They dont seem to die really! The lady who use to live here was a master gardener who worked outside all the time (she was retired) so she had along with the over 1000 sf garden, a rock garden which has english pink roses, purple sweet pea bush, lavender and some other things that Im not sure what they are. That we kept and are trying to keep up with the weeding! Living in WA that can be a fight!
Anyway I would love to get this board going again as I do love gardening quite a bit! I may not have all the right answers but hopefully we can all help each other out
