Spring mulching, planting and decorating

Hi there nice of you to stop by! Well the Spring work continues after doing the screen room that I shared on my last post I tackled the covered outdoor sitting area and the large bed that sits along side; I made a sign and used my vintage shutter in the décor. Love to offer you a sweet tea ! lets take a look.........

 I have 3 of these lined up on the posts walkway

 I added a wreath and rag garland to the shutter which I attached to the iron railing

In my front garden I have all purple and green and many herbs mixed in with the flowers.

 This is a screen door I made that is propped up on the porch

now its time to move on to the back yard and planting shanty!

Thanks so much !

HERBS AND FOWERS PLANTED TOGETHER AND DOING WELL!

Hi there! nice of you to stop by. I took a big chance and waited a while before I shared this garden do!  But so far so good. I had already shared my front flower bed filled with different colorful flowers but I decided to add some wonderful herbs in between some of the plants

Basil, my most utilized herb in the kitchen. There is nothing better than a fresh steaming pot of Tomato sauce simmering on the stove filled with tons of meatballs and the fragrant scent of basil roaming your home. Herbs have many beneficial properties that aide in good health.

Dill, a wonderful scent like no other which I use to make pickles and salad dressings. I also use it when cooking fish.

Parsley, another kitchen favorite, I use parsley in almost everything I cook as well as garnish on summer potato salads, macaroni salads etc. Parsley has many health benefits and next time you need to freshen your breath chew on a bit of fresh parsley!

Spearmint, This is a favorite I use it in Sweet Tea all day! Great with Lamb and lemonades etc. The aroma of fresh Spearmint can not be beat! 

The biggest reason I choose putting the Herbs in this area was that their is a watering system within so I don't have to worry about that part of it.  So don't hesitate to plant your Herbs with your flowers it works well and looks lovely!   Thanks for stopping by!
