herb garden ready for summer

herb garden

In yesterday’s post, I showed you my overgrown herb garden – overrun with rosemary, oregano, mint, and lemongrass gone wild. I also shared my intention to get it cleaned out and replanted this weekend.

All done, a mere 24 hours later! Here it is at 9:00 on this nice Saturday morning; cleaned out, replanted, and looking so much better! This time around I also considered laying sod in this beautiful little herb garden to avoid soil erosion. A friend of mine who has a green thumb once told me that sod could prove beneficial for gardens of all sizes, Be it small or large. She also laid sod (perhaps she ordered the item from shops like Green Valley Turf) and sent me pictures of her garden. Honestly, I was impressed by the appearance of it–beautifully maintained and organized. Hence, I also thought about using it and witnessing the results with my own eyes.

Anyway, enough of sod, let us come back to one of my favourite trees–the peach tree– which is directly across from the herb garden.

I covered it with netting before the birds could feast on the ripening peaches.

Apparently, just in the nick of time!

Two more quick photos to share on this Sunny Saturday. Yesterday, I spent the day with Tram, Zak, and Zoey! So much fun!
