Herb Garden Transformation

I'm back! I've been a bit on the busy side lately (catering in Atlanta, social media marketing, writing dessert articles, writing videography proposals, helping at an elementary school, working in the yard, etc.), but I've missed you! So, I thought I would post some transformation pics of the herb garden! Who doesn't like some good "before & after" shots? Exactly.



So... here is the herb garden from last year: mint, sage, and basil.
(Not pictured: parsley and oregano)



Here it is a bit later in the summer... I added some sunflowers that promptly died.
Awesome.

And here it is at the beginning of this Spring.
OMG Weeds.

Whew. No more weeds.
I also added a little mulch... because I only had one bag.
Clever, right?



Then I added a few little guys: basil (it's an annual, so it died at the first freeze), dill, and thyme
(Notice how ginormous the mint has gotten! Yay!)



And then.... there was pine straw. :)

So - there you have it! The above photo is what it looks like at this very moment (I literally took the picture about 8 minutes ago). I'm quite pleased with the transformation and I can't wait until the dill and basil get big enough to actually use them! Stay tuned for more yard updates...

Thanks for looking!

There she is! Can I just tell you how ridiculously exciting it is to have your own yard? I never quite understood why people would work SO hard planting things until I did it myself. It's so satisfying! I can't take credit for those gorgeous rose bushes in the photos (thank you, previous owner), but I will post pictures later of the things that I did plant.


I can't wait to get down there and spend some quality time in our yard and on our porch! It won't be long now... the wedding is in TEN days! I can't believe it myself. I'm crazy excited! So, if the posts slow down (or stop) for a bit, don't fret! I'm just becoming wed! ;)
