OOO thanks Meh! I like hellebore. I'm going to try adding some flowers into my herb bed(s).
So the garden plans. Every year, I plant a decent sized plot for 2 people & a variety of veg. Every year - bugs & excessive heat prevent me keeping up with it. Last year (and other places around the country same) had a very cool (too cold to plant) spring - then we went right to drought.
I'm REAL tired of messing with that & feeling like I MUST have a garden, when physically - it's very much a pain for me. So, I'm thinking.... being blessed with a lot of local produce (and meat)... at my age, do I really WANT to keep up this Sisyphean fight? I need some other sort of growing plan, just to satisfy me need to "know where my food came from and how it was nourished.
Maybe some sort of greenhouse (warm in the cooler temps) with raised beds.... like almost waist high so it's EASY. Most of the things I want to grow are root vegetables or greens - not so many "summer" crops. Hmmmm. (thinking out loud) Maybe that's the point to enter the re-design process. Getting ideas floating along in the brain ... maybe, if I do this... why do things need to be the x,y,z pattern? Try something DIFFERENT.
Meanwhile, I have painting to do in the "birthing" mudroom and trim to add, too. The white primer is bright in the dark corner, but it's glaring bright. Probably just use the khaki paint I used inside the doors. Khaki would be interesting with red & black.....
