Lemon thyme: the best herb to grow, especially if you're still developing your green thumb (such as yours truly). I started it last summer in the ground but transplanted it indoors during the winter; the herb didn't go crazy during the winter, but it didn't die & I was able to continue harvesting it during the winter. As soon as the weather warmed up this summer, I put it outside & it began producing again. It's a versatile & delicious herb! This winter, I plan to move it indoors again & when we have our occasional warm winter days, put it outside to enjoy the warm sun - I think that will help it keep producing through winter.
To the left of our garden, we're growing raspberries, sunflowers, & a cherry tree (also unpictured: blueberry bushes)
Around the front of the house (the veggie garden is in the back), we have a more "natural" garden with aspen trees & wildflowers. A few close-ups of the wildflowers...
The entire wildflower area
A view of the "natural" garden area. In the future, we'd like to make it a more low-maintenance area - take out some of the grass, create a bigger river rock garden, plant a few more drought-tolerant local plants, & put down mulch.
Behind the largest aspen tree we have mint growing & have already been able to enjoy mojitos with mint from the garden. Yum! :)
