A little herbs to make life fresher

 So over the Easter holiday weekend, I spent most of my time re landscaping my front yard.  I made some new beds to put in some herbs like oregano, basil, mint, and some chocolate mint.  I also bought some blackberry plants along with some sylvania plants to attract butterflies. 

 

I actually drew out this design first on paper and then worked on it.  My measurements for the pavers were a little off, but I am happy with the end results.  Now I just have to find some 3/4 -1" gravel rock to fill in the spaces around the pavers.

I reused the large river rock from the side of my house to create a river bed look.  I added some purple fountain grass up front and transplanted my box woods in a triangular pattern.  I built a raised bed to put parallel to the sidewalk to help block of the wind from blowing leaves and trash to my front door.  The only problem, I think my rosemary didn't like the transplant, as it continues to look brown and dead.  The thing about rosemary that I researched on is that it can't be overwatered and it doesn't do well with compost.  So I am sort of stuck on what to do next to help revive it. 

I'm not quite done with the front yard as I have a few more ideas that I would like to try.  Just have to wait for the time and the money to be on my side.

Get dirty and keep on gardening!
