Goodness, Anne,
What a description! Sounds absolutely wonderful. Wish I was traveling through
your neighborhood sometime soon. Love to see all those goodies. you sound like my
partner, JoAn. She has so many of the same plants as you in her raised beds. She
also throws in her veggies and herbs to the mix you are describing.
She is the sun gardener here, I am the shade.
Thanks for the full description. Enjoyed reading your combinations.
