My Backyard Garden


I wanted to show you my little backyard garden. I am so glad that this house has some space at the backyard for me to plant some herbs. Not like in PA that I have to plant everything in a flower pot of containers. The backyard is quite bit but I still need some time to get it organize. So for the time being I just plant some flowers and herbs at a corner. The next season I will get Carlos to boil some planter boxes so I can plant vegetables. Here are some pictures on the progress of my little garden.

The little garden looks pretty bare when I first stared.
I planted some herbs.
Cilantro
Rosemary
Mint
Parsley
Thyme
Daun Kesum
Thai Basil
Lemongrass
Sage
Sweet Basil
Curry Plant - I have to plant this in a pot so I can bring it into the house during winter.
Strawberries


Meyer Lemon
After 3 months it bear some fruits

Some flowers to add colors to the little garden.

Wow! Its must be nice to have Californian weather. Can grow such a wide range of plants. From temperate to tropical. I have trouble growing cilantro from seed. They won't sprout! And i cannot find cilantro plants for sale in nursery, only in the supermart. After years of trying I have only one sprouting which i enjoyed for quite a few months and then it died from lack of water.

Enjoy your plants. I hope you will post more of their photos so we can share your joy. Thank you.

The advantages along with a relatively low cost of string link fence make the chain link fencing therefore attractive. So you can easily attach a series link fence on a slope, as it adjusts to the incline. When hooking up a chain link fence, this will depend on which a person particularly wish to connect
