Well here is the pics of my Herb Garden. In it I have planted: Chives Oregano Basil Peppermint Sage Rosemary Lavender Marigolds Moon Flowers I know there is something else but it is eluding me .....  Any way here are some pics. This pic is of the back which is the south side:  Then the East side :  And North or Front....  And of course My lil Happy Buddha : Buddha is a popular symbol of Abundance, Happiness, Good Tidings, Affluence and Endless Wealth.  I thought he fitted on real well, I hope for an abundance of Herbs !! |

Love the herbs Snowy .....
I'll have to get some pics of my garden i planted it about 3 weeks ago and have flowers on my squash and two tiny tomatoes already.
According to some locals i was late i can't wait to get this yard leveled so i can do my big garden next year.
The only problem is my basil has turned brown since i pinched it...Anybody know what happened?

Nice garden SF. All my herbs either never came up or died, except the parsley. I'm growing mine in pots, gotta figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Oooooh, squash, I LOVE squash. Was going to try growing some this year, but figgered I'd get the hang of the flowers and herbs before I try a few veggies.

YIPPEE!!!!!!!! Picked mt first zucchini today ....... I let them get medium to large size . This one today was about 14" long and nice and fat .....lots of folk don't like to let them get big but growing up Italian, breaded zucchini sandwhiches were the norm in the summer and we let them get big to get more bigger pieces......
I have a bunchof tomatoes, not red yet and some yellow squash and a few more zucchini almost ready to be picked....
I love the weather here it's so much fun pickin this stuff earlier than what i did in the 'Burgh... normally up there planting was always Memorial day weekend or after the first full moon of May (that was my grams way).....
