My friend Mimi, over here
introduced me to Potager gardens. I fell in love. Now for the past two years I have been in my parents home and on the deck surrounding the pool had something like a potager garden (not really knowing what this was until Mimi showed me) in the yard. It was basically a wall/planter. Every year I have done planting for my parents, growing herbs (we had to move the mint over to a separate potager since it took over one whole area - but YUM MOJITOS!!), cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, beans and much more. Maya wanted strawberries last year so we added a few. They actually came up this year and a few more than we had last year. There are even strawberries coming up now.
So, I have these ugly shrubs outside of my screened in porch. I believe that is where I will put my potager. I am very excited. Thank you for such wonderful inspiration.
