A small Marin Potager - early April

A snippet of my small culinary, medicinal and floral potager in Marin

Young Sweet Peas and a Yellow Squash was recently planted a few days ago.

As the spring warms up the lettuce will start to bolt and become a little bitter.

The peas and squash will take their place.

Hey, What do you do with the Verbascum... Patrick

Very nice, Michelle. I have such a small garden and so little sun that I'm reduced to parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. And no I'm not being clever - those really ARE my herbs of choice given my tiny amount of room.

Hi Patrick,
The verbascum is used primary for visuals and a bit of psychology. It is said that the native american indians in my area used this plant to treat lung ailments.
Seeing how I only have one lung left it signifies a whacky sense of hope.

Susan,
Nice to have you drop in and leave a note.
My space is small too, so I can relate.

Your potager is quite beautiful.. what are those little bits of blue in the walkway? It really adds to the look.

Beautiful! Is that pottery or tumbled glass in the gravel? I love the way it looks there! Looks like treasure!
