Flox this!

This lovely batch of flox is a nice surprise as I was just admiring such plants at Bennett's recently. Posted by Picasa

Boxed OUT!

No more boxwoods! The Dusty Miller is being used as a place holder until more suitable plants are found. The little green gem on the end is a variety of bee balm that should get 3 to 4 feet high with bright red blooms. Posted by Picasa

Full Frontal Gardening

Here's the front after just an hour or so of labor. The boxwoods were moved to the rear near the deck. The stones are to be more permanently set to create a bed in front of the porch. Two new hanging baskets are also present, thanks to my lovely gardener in crime, Becky Posted by Picasa

The Plan.

Here's a good context shot of the new herbs. To the left of the herbs, in the open space between the deck and the fence might go a butterfly bush. To the right where the irises are currently is the direction in which the herbage will expand. Posted by Picasa

Herbs Galore.

Welcome to the new herb garden at Casa de Double P. It contains Italian Parsley, sage, rosemary, sweet basil, onion chives, cilantro, and lavendar. Over time this bed will be expanded, stage right, and will have more herbs and some florals. Posted by Picasa
