I want to start with a short post about our garden shed that we built in the fall of 2014. Last year I got busy planting the area surrounding it (need a name for this part of the garden - the shed bed? Na.) which included the construction of an herb garden made from scrap cedar. I also painted the door purple. :)

Just look at the difference from Spring to late Summer. What a difference some foliage makes!

Here's a close-up of my oregano in the herb garden which produced really well in it's first year!
December was so mild that I was able to harvest kale and parsley for garnishes for Christmas dinner.
I am excited to see what thrives this coming growing season.
