Gardening this year is much simpler than usual. Weeding is not an option this year (health stuff), so planting in pots close to the house is the answer. Most of them hold herbs; parsley, basil and oregano. Stephanie has brought home from school some interesting things too, some of them we have no idea what they are, so they got planted in the front yard, and I will report later what they eventually become.
Also in the front, we have planted in the main bed there some cucumbers, pumpkins and zucchini and it is delightful to watch them sprout and grow. We had earlier planted some nasturtiums and they too are growing in the front.
My Dad brought us up some hostas from his yard and they look beautiful beside the back of the house. After they die back in the fall I will plant them into the beds at the side of the yard that gets lots of shade from the maple tree.
Here is Steve and Stephanie putting in more Columbine. The bed under the kitchen window is going to be full of them and I love their different colors!
