I wrote a bit of a story about what I've done recently with this
garden bed but then it vanished on me! I will quickly summarize instead:
Removed "thyme" (it was actually sage - it's gone elsewhere in the garden)
Added portulaca
Added clump of mystery fancy grass someone gave me years ago and which I've been transplanting around the place ever since
Have a
water bowl in the bed for flying critters, mostly paper wasps are using it
Took out some hen-n-chicks
A runner bean vine has come up
And a zinnia flowered
We are in "stage two" drought and there are wildfires not far away (I can see some of one from the backyard when the wind blows the smoke away
enough to see the mountainsides)
Now I'll just post a couple of photos :)
