Channeling Sophie's Garden

Carol's garden is in Port Hope MI, in a rural, lakeside community. She has lots of space and expertise. Laura' garden is located in Centralia WA, in a small suburban yard challenged by access to sun and space. Debbie's garden is in Deckerville MI, in a smaller rural yard, where rules are ignored.

Each of us is applying what we learned at at our mother's and grandmother's knees in space once owned by Sophie Mayer Birg Harter on Rangeline Road. Sophie immigrated to Detroit in 1908 from Heufeld, a once German (Donauschwaben) community of Hungary. Her hope lives on.

Happy herbs




Here are pictures of my herbs they are happily growing even in cool wet conditions. You will notice rocks in my herb garden. They help warm the plants and it is a great place to put my pretties. The speckled rock next to the parsley and hydrangea in #1 is called a pudding stone we have 3 of them, they are not real common but they are found in our area. When I find a pretty stone I always bring them home. Picture 2 is lime thyme, lemon balm, rosemary, and basil. #3 is close up of the rosemary.

    I didn't know the benefit (heat) of placing stones near herbs, but I do that. Nice to know my practice has purpose. :)
