Nearly all the things got planted the week of May 15-16. So here's what they looked like then (I am so bad at updating this...)
This first bed is dedicated specifically to the spirits of the land. You can see the milkweed growing on the left, and I planted goldenrod as well. The third thing that was going in there I accidentally didn't buy and now I don't know what it was. So stay tuned. There's also a hummingbird feeder in this one but I'm about done with this design. The humming birds don't seem to see it and it's hard to clean, so now it's all gross and mildewy inside.

This next bed is in the other corner of the house and just by default is dedicated to the ancestors. I'm not sure what else to put in there. That is a crap ton of sage that is blooming beautifully. There's room for something else behind it (besides the weeds I dug out) and I'm still thinking of what that might be. It gets the fullest sun of all but one bed in the garden.

This is a bit of the moongarden. If I remember right, those are some kind of primrose? They come on like gangbusters. I think we're going to get some fairy houses to put in there, knowing full well the controversy over the nature of the Good People. I don't think it could to give them some nice houses though, right?

First of the food beds, and it's somewhat sparsely planted right now. One of those is the Lazy Wife beans (no strings) and the other is some sort of dwarf melon. I have plans to add more beans (good for the soil and the peeps, too!) but I'm also not sure how much room the melon is going to end up needing. Up in the top left-ish corner you can see the volunteer chives from last year.
Next bed is all tomatoes all the time. And I think one of the peppers.
Right now, something is munching on the leaves, so I applied so Neem in the hopes I wasn't too late.
(TBC...I have more pictures but I they won't post for some reason..)
