I have several spots with lemon balm wandering around the farm. Smells wonderful when mowed

Both lemon Balm and mint is supposed to repel mosquitoes too.
We live next to a river so I’m not sure my mint is working. Maybe I should get some lemon balm too

Thank you so much for showing her off. Reading the manufacturer’s brand name I imediately thought of the Norse goddess of the underworld Hel, especially as she is responsible for welcoming the souls who die due to accidents. If this is to dark then please ignore me. It’s just where my mind took me: to the underworld

This year I built a small pallet garden and fenced it in. My perennials are waking up and I’m happy 
. It will probably get overwhelmed and I might have to build another or maybe a third. Who knows? All I know is that I’m tired of feeding the deer.
Fuck them deer!

Update: It will soon be time to plant everything, they are outgrowing their quickpots.
Curious how many squashes will survive
This year’s seed propagation for Arche Noah: peas. Waiting for sprouts.
Salad soon ready to eat
Monardas already with mildewy, fuck the weather. Gave them an antifungal BATH today. Let them dry overnight. Same procedure tomorrow and then planting. Boy, I’m pissed.
And there are plants you want to pet because their leaves are so fluffy, cute and good smelling: some plectranthus variety 
The weather is not amusing but as long as there are no hailstorms it’s ok 
May all your plants grow and prosper

Dear fellow gardeners and gratitude folks!
The TS born idea of turning the still unfinished dry stone wall my ex has been building for 2++ years by now into a gratitude wall planted with all kinds of plants comes to life!
My resentments decreased over time, still it is a monument for his choosing stone fumbling and drinking, ignorance, lovelessness and silent treatment above being my loved one and investing in our relationship.
As I can’t find the original post where the idea was born, I hope the idea-giver gives a shoutout here! I’m so sorry that I can’t remember who you are as this idea is fabulous 
I’m tagging @eph-M-eral @Alisa @Lisa07 @Dazercat @JazzyS @acromouse as I remember you liked the idea. And I apologize to the ones I forgot, please feel all invited to contribute.
And there we go:
Every plant comes with a specific gratitude to the wall. As you can see I have started planting lots of gratitude. If you want a gratitude plant added to the wall you can post here or send me a PM. I’ll add your gratitude plant to the wall and send or post a picture.
Oh I’m so curious how this idea will bloom - of course some will not survive, I’m just learning how to plant on a stone wall. That’s ok, the spots will be replanted with new gratitude plants
I’ll keep you posted about the growing!
