Michelle and I were real intersted in learning a lot about gardening from veggies to herbs to flowers. The owners here mentioned that farming was part of our work. But early spring they sprung upon us an unbelievable opportunity - complete design and control of the herb/flower garden near the main store! The picture above shows this wonderful spot - those are 5' X 5' squares and there are 12 of them. That's pretty huge for begginers like us. Those big piles on the left are just SOME of the weeds we cleared out. The forefront shows off some of the herbs coming back from last year - oregano and a fennel plant which you'll see later becomes huge.
There are a few traditional veggie plants like tomato and green pepper in this garden but overall we wanted it to be unique. We also wanted everything in the garden to be edible - flowers and herbs. Most plants come from seed straight to the ground while some others were donated by some master gardeners. We'll keep you updated!
