Few things in life…
…deliver the same ratio of Satisfaction to Investment as gardening. A few bucks, an hour, et voilà! My very own herb (and tomato) garden! Planted in a sunny corner just a few steps from the kitchen are all my favorites: cherry tomatoes, oregano, English thyme, basil and cilantro. There’s still room to add a couple more, maybe some chives and dill.

There is nothing like cooking with home grown tomatoes and herbs picked right from your garden!
Yes! As of Saturday I have a similar bed in my front yard! I know, it’s weird to grow herbs in your front yard, but that’s where the sun is and that’s where the raised beds are, so there you go. I will share with my neighbors to make up for breaking the suburban code of lawns, foundation shrubs, etc.:).
Enjoy enjoy!
I notice you left “heartbreak” out of the gardening equation, so I will stop there, ha.
[But if our crappy weather keeps Mr Vix’s Kosy-Coated heirloom tomatoes from growing, you will hear my screaming from space.]
I’m behind, so let me add that the back is looking so wonderful you will soon forget the “before.” Especially when you’re munching on a fresh-from-the-garden salad!
Yummy!
How nice to have herbs so near your kitchen! The size of yours, is sensible too.
Yesterday, while enjoying a good read out on my porch, I could swear that my sunflowers were growing before my very eyes. The garden is amazingly healing for my dad at this time.
Everything looks beautiful! I bet your cooking is really fun and fresh-tasting these days.
MMmmm! Pseu, what a delightful fantasy to think of sharing a salad from your garden with all of us, your devoted blogfriends.
Absolutely and wholeheartedly agree – such a pleasure to throw in a few herbs straight from your garden to the table!
We love our small kitchen garden. Ours includes sage and mint too. I would recommend that you keep mint in pots, though, as it will take over in a few years.
exciting!!! Gardening is so good for the soul. These baby plants would be eaten pronto by possums in my garden- hope you don’t have any. What mulch are you using???? I favour sugar cane mulch.
I love it!
What a promising start to your garden!
Few things are better than just being able to pop out the kitchen door to grab the herbs you need for dinner … throw in a few lettuces and some rocket and you’ve got a whole salad!
TARRAGON IS HOT this year! plant some now!
