Happy you have chamomile in your garden!

It's so much nicer! Oh, but chamomile....I am truly envious. I really hope it grows well for you. The scent when stepped on is heavenly...

I think I'm the first to plant basil in my lawn, but a neighbor down the street grows tons upon tons of basil in pots, as well as tomatoes and lettuce. They line his walkway. He grows lettuce the way some people grow flowers. I often consult him on gardening.

I have both perennials and self seeding annuals which I like a lot. My garden practically plants itself at this point but I guess that's the advantage of staying in the same house for 25 years.

I want to do that with our front lawn. Already one section is moss, but I want to plant as much plant life as possible and have a little grass. I am guessing that my neighbors will find it very unconventional as the green lawn rules here. I love the idea of getting rid of lawn and putting in plants. I want to do that with our front lawn.

Animals have eaten some perennials that look very unappetizing to me, though. Strange. So far, the basil hasn’t been disturbed in back or front.

Hopefully this time the animals in your area won't eat them all. Good luck with all your herbs. Hopefully this time the animals in your area won’t eat them all.
