On either sides of the greenhouse are flower beds. The west side is next to crepe myrtles, and it doesn't get quite as much sun as the east side. The east side bed was home to a shrub that I detested. Some sort of dwarf cedar evergreen, it would scratch me and make raised red marks on my arms every time I thought about getting close to it. This week, I donned gloves and long sleeves and ripped out the hated shrubs. They were probably very expensive and desirable, but they are now dead and in the woodpile to be burned. Good riddance. Underneath was a massive gladiola bulb farm. Yesterday I dug all but a few out...it wound up being three flats worth of bulbs. Today Angel planted one flat of bulbs in a different flower bed. Anyway, yesterday I turned the empty bed into an herb garden. I put in wooden dividers, and planted dill, chives, cilantro, basil, and my thai hot peppers. Some chives and Cilantro I'd started in the greenhouse, and all of the basil and peppers where from the greenhouse. Angel bought me some very cool herb garden stakes to go in it. It looks good, and the evil shrub is gone.
