Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
May. 27th, 2013 02:03 pmI've been a gardening fiend these past few weeks. I have yet to finish preparing the beds and planting at my spot in the nearby community garden. However, I have planted like a crazy person in my postage stamp yard.
If the squirrels don't murder everything (they very well might), I should have a LOT of good food. And flowers. Flowers bring the bees in to pollinate everything, and they also make everything prettier.
Here's a tentative list of what I already have planted. I may have overlooked an herb and a flower or two....
I still want to plant carrots.
