Garden Layout 2025

Adding plants to unused spaces in the garden

• Adding peppers to discourage squirrels. Five color Chinese peppers are ornamental and colorful! Put them in the free spaces, move the hose hookup to a less conspicuous spot. 

• Jalapenos to make salsa.

• Give the cucamelons another try with a little more attention. Perhaps the soil was much worse than I thought in the zucchini bed.

• Rosemary and other "dry" herbs to available space. Work the ground fully, add some gravel for drainage. Extend this to the corner and put thyme there. Thyme also needs drainage.

• Perhaps this is the year to try to restrain the lemon balm a little. I barely use it, even though it smells nice, do I need three large plants? Maybe try to pull one and replace with Chamomile.
