This year one of my goals is to spend less than $300 on plants and seeds for my gardens while continue to experiment and expand the content. The seed sources that I'm using include Nichols Garden Nursery, Horizon Herbs, Seed Savers Exchange, Territorial Seed Company and Goodwin Creek Herbs.
I have 11 different gardens:
1. Vegetable--includes raised beds and in ground
2. Prairie Garden Mix that is along the outside of the fence along the road
3. Butterfly Garden in the front yard
4. Herb Garden
5. Round Garden--this will be a lavender garden this year. Last year it was a moon garden
6.Shade gardens under the sycamores and maple in the back
7. Border garden in the front of the house
8. New hosta bed under the red maple in the front
9. Rose garden
10. Multiple window boxes
11. Debby's Garden
I'm also going to do some potted plants again, only with a few changes. I bought some chickweed seeds to try in a pot and Debby's garden has a beautiful arbor that David built where I can have 4 hanging plants. I'm going to try some scented geraniums and other herbs in those.
Cool, Mom! I picked out some veggies for our garden, and am considering planting some veggies in the front, if I can get it tilled and pick some that will also look pretty. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteYou can always intersperse veggies and flowers--either perennials or annuals. Certainly kale, chard, beets, spinach, leeks, onions, garlic (garlic loves roses) are colorful greens with different textures and would blend in very well with nasturtiums, geraniums, pelargoniums, snapdragons, and other lower growing flowers. Might be especially nice on the north side of your sidewalk that goes up to the house and begin adding some perennials that will hold that little hill together.
