Ever since our big tree fell over in February 2020, our front yard has been a mess. The tree took out most of the wall by the street and all of Maria's roses. As with most things around here, it took some time to get things put back together. I told Montse I wanted to replant the roses. She pointed out that roses are very labor intensive if you want them to grow well. That wasn't a problem when Maria was alive and able to work in the garden. Sadly, those days are behind us. Montse suggested we put in some native, drought resistant plants. We went to the nursery and selected several kinds of aromatic plants. We picked out lavender, rosemary, thyme, something they call mint (which really isn't mint) and curry plants. I'd never heard of a curry plant but the leaves smell just like curry powder. The soil in the garden is easy to work so we got everything planted pretty quickly. We put down a weed barrier. Montse covered the whole yard with decorative stone. It looks fantastic!
Thanks, Montse!
