How in the world did I manage to kill mint? Only thing I can imagine is that the soil was too acidic from the cedar bush that was the soil’s last occupant.

The oregano made the air smell absolutely delicious when I clipped all of the brown dead flowers off.

I’ll admit it… my watering can is annoying. Built more for aesthetics and less for actually getting things wet, holding a tad over a liter with the tiniest holes I’ve ever seen in the spout.

Don’t think I’ll put petunias in the garden itself again. Beautiful in containers, but in the bed itself, they make my front porch look like the entrance to a second-rate mall. I think they definitely for mass plantings only. Go big or invest in perennials. lol

Nasturtiums are super easy to grow from seed, the Thunbergia not so much.

Be careful when you weed. I almost pulled up what turned out to be a Shasta Daisy that I had forgotten about. I adored those four little white blooms while I had them.

And lastly, water water and don’t forget the water.

ps. sorry for the lack of white space in my post. wordpress decided to screw with my template

without my express written permission and we’ve yet to figure out what and/or how they did it.
