Don’t you just love it when you walk outside to do one thing and you end up doing something totally different? Well yesterday I did just that. I went out to sweep off the back porch and ended up creating a new little herb garden.
As I started to sweep the porch I noticed our little patch of oregano was totally overgrown so I grabbed my favorite pair of pruning shears and gave it a trim.
Lucy started to dig. And when she did, I started to see the possibility of a tiny herb garden in that spot.
So I grabbed a shovel and dug up the thyme plant that’s been hanging out at the base of the espalier trees for the last year and a half.
And the echinacea seedlings I started this past spring.
And moved all the herbs {along with some shasta daisy starts and 2 sage plants} to the little patch as well. In the spring I’ll add a few chive plants and a rosemary bush and call it good.
Garden chores are rad. Even when they’re totally unexpected. 🙂
Have a great day everyone.

We call this “mission creep” at our house. Love it.

In a warm climate here and oregano wants to take over along with garlic chives. Sage and thyme are well behaved. I have a hedge of rosemary, parsley in big pot that reseeds. Lemon balm in shady bed and comes up each year in new spot. I love growing herbs !
