Backdoor Herb Garden

Our backdoor has been a dog pen

for several years.

It was especially needed this winter

with a little pup to put out at night.

 

 

Yesterday I pulled the front

fence and the gate out from the pen,

cleaned up the area

and planted 

A Backdoor Herb Garden. 

The dogs don't really need

the pen anymore.

 

 

I find myself sitting 

on the back steps to put

on my dirty garden shoes

each morning . . .

getting up from the steps

isn't as easy as it used to be, LOL.

 

Now I have a chair to sit on

and hopefully the herbs will grow

and give off a pretty aroma.

(much nicer than a dog pen, LOL)

 

 

Among the herbs I've planted a barrel

of strawberries . . . I've always 

wanted to plant strawberries so

this is my start.

 

There is lettuce planted in the 

barrel beside it . . .

if the berries do good, maybe 

both barrels will be strawberries next year.

 

 

 Every garden needs a little

whimsy . . . don't you think?

 

As soon as I post this . . .

I'm going out to put drip-lines

to these pots.

It's suppose to reach 100 degrees

today, so doing this and sitting

sprinklers is all the work

I'm up too, today. 

 

Maybe I'll have time for quilting :)

 

Have A Great day!

God Bless you all
