Vegetable Garden Corner of the Deck and Yard

Since I posted the other pictures last night, I added a trellis by the air con. unit and planted a honeysuckle in front of it, hoping it will conceal the unit when it grows and spreads. I just wanted to show you.

I have been very busy these last few days but I am not done with my yard projects but I am linking with Met Mon, Blue Monday and Mosaic Monday and showing you what I have done so far.

Here is my contribution for Blue and Mosaic Monday. It's a blue Strawberry Pot that is made in Portugal. It's kinda tall and I found it at TJ Maxx for $14.00. I dug out the strawberry plants from our vegetable garden and planted them in the pot. They were just starting to come back. Do you see the blooms on top.

For Met Monday, I would like to show you our vegetable and herb garden corner. I forgot to take pictures of the before but these picture were taken before winter just before the basil froze. Of course all these plants were all dead before I started so you can just imagine how bad the area looked.




Here it is now. I planted some basil, dill, cilantro, parsley, tomatoes and hot peppers. The rosemarie, curry and chives are from last year. They survived the winter.

It looks a lot cleaner. These used to be raised but when they built the pool, they threw some of the soil that they dug out into here.

I have a little flower bed right next to it. Below was before the frost.

And this is now. The lilies and the red feathery flowers (don't know what they are called) did not make it but everything else that I planted last year grew and are blooming.

I have not really planted anything new but look how big the plants grew.

This morning when I woke up, I found our tall rose topiary on the ground with the pot broken. It rained and the wind must have toppled it over but I did not wake up cause I was so tired from cleaning the yard and planting yesterday. I have been working on our secret garden but that will be in another post because I am not done yet.

I repotted it and now it is standing. Do you see it? Do you see the azaleas down below on the left side? That's where my secret garden is. At least that's what AJ calls it.

The rose has one bloom but the plant is full of buds. We will have lots of roses soon.

See some of the buds?

Just like I said, I am not done working yet, lots of more work to do.

Till next time! Thanks for coming by and I appreciate our 3 hostesses for hosting these 3 events week after week.
