The previous owner of my house, Joyce, planted a lotta good stuff. To the left is a white iris. It's right outside my front door. The front planter has yellow irises, andI've begun to add purple ones.
In celebration of Earth Day, I planted basil, oregano, and a small tomato plant (Thanks, Darcy!) in my patio planter (above right). I put in six lavender plants in the middle of the area surrounded by the retaining wall. They already smell wonderful!! Aunt C, you would approve :) I also planted four citronella plants. It'll be interesting to see if they have any mosquito repellent impact on my patio space. Man, the bugs here in Georgia are unreal.
The hydrangeas were damaged by our unexpected cool spell, but I think they'll be all right. I hope they bloom this year.
I have seeds for a bright red morning glory that are soaking now, I'm going to plant them in the center of the front yard planter tomorrow. They'll be able to climb the trellis with the yellow roses.
I suppose I really ought to start studying for my exam tomorrow, and work on my two page report, and get a head start for my exam Wednesday... blech.

Nice. We've been doing a ton a gardening lately. About 40 different flowering plants in our frontyard. In the back, we got a large area devoted to vegetables, lot's of heirloom varietals, tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, strawberries, squash, herbs, beans, lettuce. Under our fruit trees (orange, apricot, peach) we have pumpkin plans, artichoke, and more cucumbers. We also have blueberry bushes(3) and grape vines (3).
Unfortunately, the birds have figured it out too!
