In the garden I have the following edibles:
- tomatoes
- green peppers
- basil
- mint
- parsley
- lemon thyme
- oregano
- lavender
- strawberries
- peaches
- blueberries
We also have:
- catmint
- roses
- impatiens
- grapevines (the grapes are never edible)
- azaleas
- rhododenrons
- weigela
- lilacs
- spirea
And:
- butterfly bush
- barberry
- coltsfoot
- dogwood
- arborvitae
- fern
- hosta
Now I'd love to have a ton more stuff growing (especially stuff I can eat), but my yard is pretty small and we've made the best use of the space we have. The Werewolf also runs and accidentally ruins things sometimes so I have to be careful where I put stuff.
I love tending to all these plants during the summer months. Love to drink in their beauty, smell their fragrances, and taste their deliciousness. Coexisting with them when they are so green and alive invigorates me like nothing else can.
That's why I love being in The Outdoor Writing Office. I can't help but be inspired to write when surrounded by nature.
Everything is better outside. It just is.
Do you garden? If so, what are you growing?
Toodles,
