Herb Garden Plans...

Said plans are coming together nicely--yesterday I bought a bunch of seeds and plant starts, and today the bed-building/planting begins. So far for the plants, the only things I'm missing are St. John's wort and marsh mallow. But they aren't total necessities yet...so attention can be put towards the other plants for now.

And here's what I got!

(And they're even labeled for reading convenience.)

I thought the mallow was a perennial marshmallow, but it turns out that it's some kind of annual hybrid.

(For the unaware: perennial means that it comes back every year, annual mean that it only lives for one year and needs to be planted again.)

Everything else should be a go, though. The bed is marked out in the back--it just needs railroad ties for its boundaries and compost brought over to build it up. And planting, of course. But that's the fun part.

The stevia up top is going to have to go into a pot--I found out after buying it that it's very, very sensitive to cold and frost of any kind. *chalks up another tally for 'research before buying'*

Anyway...so that's what's going on today. But now, it is naptime...I love Sundays. :p

*EDIT*

I have my herb garden built! It's made with railroad ties and compost from the dung heap--er, barnyard pile of wealth. XD If wealth was measured by manure, we'd be rich, that's all I'm saying. So here's a picture of the raised bed:

The fence is the edge of the horse pasture, and if I had turned around and taken another picture it would have been of the vegetable garden. This is a good 40-50 feet away, and should keep any particularly obnoxious herbs from spreading. ;) I'll leave this unplanted for a few days so it can settle, add more dirt, and then plant everything! *happy dance*
