Some quick notes ... (Then back outside!)
Honestly, I have this beautiful type of herb (Hyssop Agastache Mexicana) but I don't dare post a photo of its current pitiful state. :-] It was one of my finds at a local herb festival and I planted it in full sun as it aspired to grow in all its glory.However, that same area becomes a bog when it rains since the Bermuda grass has been slow growing. Thus, when it rains, a steady stream of rain water flows into the area my Hyssop is (attempting) to grow.
And, since it has rained almost every day since the month of May in my country garden, my little Hyssop is not much larger than it was when planted (and pruned back) over a month ago.
Speaking of Bermuda grass, as a card-carrying Oklahoma gardener it is almost with disgrace that I finally claim my adoration for this tenacious (usually a pain in the b---, um, garden) grass. I gladly accepted three bags of freshing pulled Bermuda from my neighbor so as it could be plugged into the NEW! lawn area of my backyard in April.
My faithful son and lawn man is currently using a post hole digger to dig holes to "plug" with cut portions of Bermuda grass from other parts of the lawn. This has worked well but with the rain and all, it has turned out to be an almost month-long project! ;-)
Well, my break time is over ... More later!
