Baby Steps

My garden is comeing along slowly but surely, We have put in a dwarf peach tree, a gooseberry bush a red currant bush and three roses that we pulled out of Chris and Megans yard. Next we get to work on paths, probably mulch paths, because we have a grundle of mulch.

Did you know that Roses and Herbs are traditionally paired. For centuries roses were grown for madicinal qualities, and so were a natural pair with herbs. Artemisia Mint Chamomile Sage Parsley Basil Hyssop Lavender and thyme all pair especially well with roses. I especially love the old fashioned roses like Bourbon or alba, white climbing peace. You just have to make sure your roses get extra water and feeding, they want more than your herbs, who like it dry sunny, and leaner. We just mix some compost ie rabbit poop, (we have plenty) in with the roses when we plant then add some occasionally durring the season.

Good gardening everyone..
