smartcakes's herbs and butterflies garden

Garden Type: Herb | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

These photos are from last year. This year, I’ve added more butterfly plants on the sunny side – milkweeds, fennel, buddleia, lantana, etc. I moved the stock tank ‘pond’ out and to the other side of the yard where it can get more sun. I’ve planted a bunch of impatiens, violets, coleus where it was. This garden also contains the odd tomato, morning glory, dahlias, sunflowers, scarlet runner beans, cosmos, zinnia, delphinium, clematis, grapes, lambs ear, lemon balm, catnip, catmint, anise hyssop, borage… I know I’m forgetting some!

Haven’t taken any photos of it yet this year.
