Sounds like things are really coming along. I've been pretty good about getting the early veggies out so far, but I am way behind on my herbs. I wish I lived in a climate that supported rosemary outdoors all year. I remember being in San Antonio and walking by rosemary bushes. *sigh*

I know...it did very well in Virginia. Without a greenhouse area there's no way to keep it going here year 'round.

We just got a small dill plant; need to set it out soon.

I thought I had some 'small' dill plants last year- by June they were 4 feet tall! Laughing

One of the local squirrels got mad and dug it up. Little beast.

Jimmy caught him stealing lettuce and yelled at him. He dropped the lettuce, Jimmy picked it up and brought it inside, and mysteriously, the dill and that lettuce plant are now dead....

I'll be posting more pictures soon.

The upstairs bath is done, and we have landscaped the front garden: marigolds, ivy, summer bulbs, pinks, allyssum, poppies, forsythia, bleeding hearts, ivy and peonies. I'm thinking of adding myrtle and a few other things; we'll see what I find. The center is lawn.

Much of it won't flower until next year, but it's in place. (Not recognizable as the place we moved into last year. Our neighbors are very happy.)
