isn't easy. :lol: I guess you have to dig out the roots completely. But now that I see there are new sprouts everywhere, I'm just going to watch to see how it grows. This one was around 7' tall before we had to cut it this past winter (it was unable to stand on its own). I counted 11 new sprouts off of this stump.

Also, trying a little herb planting for the first time. Rosemary is growing quickly, along with oregano, mint, and thyme.

81444

Some flat leaf parsley

81445

and yes, first time also for growing a tomato plant, have a couple already. :yahoo:

81446

and cayenne peppers, we'll see if these guys need more room (first time for all of these, too).

Very much looking forward to see how this all turns out. :buddies:

we bought some tomato, green pepper & cuke plants today @ Russells in Clements.

Good on ya. :yay: I bet you're looking forward to seeing how they turn out. I can't believe this is the first time we're trying to grow anything. I'm thinking if we don't grow enough, we'll want more. But if we grow too much, we'll want to can 'em. Another thing we'll have to learn how to do. All good...

Where do you live? I'm gonna come raid your garden! :killingme Someday, once I get all these flower beds and the rest of the yard the way I want it, I'll start veggie and herb gardens. I'd really like to pick peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes in the back yard because I eat them almost every day when they're in season.

:lol:

One of the reasons we've waited so long to plant herbs is because we were waiting for that day when the yard was the way we want it...but it never seems to get there, so...

Then we figured out as long as we have full sun, we should be able to grow most of these herbs. Started with basil indoors over the winter, then what's in the photos in the spring.

Can't wait to see if we get a good harvest... :buddies:

Around a week later, the shoots off of the yucca have grown a lot. We're not going to cut any of them, hopefully this will keep the whole thing low.

Also, we planted 3 hybrid hibiscus'. These things produce huge, colorful flowers even when the rest of the plant is very small. These will have blooms all summer. :yay:

Nice, I love hibiscus plants. Last year we planted a few in our deck planters and they look so pretty and tropical. Low maintenance too! Need to do the planters soon and I'll be getting a few hibiscus trees and some purple ornamental grasses.
