The Frugal Garden: Dooryard Garden Update

 A Dooryard garden is an easily accessible garden space, just outside a doorway, for easy harvesting of herbs, flowers and sometimes vegetables.  Mine is by my front door, so I work to keep it visually pleasing.

I keep a seed starting area inside my house and every week I replace dying plants with new seedlings.  If I do have a blank area, I keep a variety of attractive pots planted and move them into the empty space.

Here are my dooryard garden at the beginning of the growing season and now when most of the plants are maturing.

Experiment with the plants that you use for cooking and with your favorite flowers.  Two of the larger pots contain hot peppers, one yellow and one red.  Both are attractive and tasty.

God bless,
