Tasty Front Yard Post Blog

I wrote Tasty Front Yard earlier in the month and so this is a post comment...I have already started on my front yard garden. Since the weather here is still a bit dampish for tilling, I have put a few tarps down on the grass so that it will die down and make tilling easier.
I have some of my little plants in egg cartons, staying warm and sitting in a well lit place in my kitchen...some of the bigger ones I will soon transplant into cut off milk cartons. And last night I made some rooting hormone solution from some of the willow that grows out front.
I've decided that I want lots of rosemary and lavender bushes...So I went to the market in town (Florence) and bought some of those organic herb cuttings that are suppose to be for gourmet cooks. Since I was just trying this out to see if it would work I only got a few different kinds...the mint started quite easily in water, and the rosemary starts are in a pot in the kitchen and look very promising.
The lavender I will get cuttings of when I go into the valley to get the tiller...with the rooting hormone solution they should start pretty quickly. I will also take cuttings of the butterfly bushes at my Mother's to attract the many butterflies and hummingbirds that live here.
Hmmm, I think that I will head to the market...one can Never have enough rosemary!
