Eek! Late for spring cleaning! Is the oregano, mint or lemon balm winning? Seriously though, if you need a low growing "well-mannered" ground cover in a sunny spot, oregano is great. It is not invasive like the mint. It spreads in a "carpet" on top of the ground, for the most part.

Just wait until my mint garden is photographable. I have lemon-balm, bee-balm, chocolate mint, peppermint, and sweet mint all in one patch. ( I also ordered a lavender, which will have to be protected like a baby during the winter.) They should grow together in one big patch this summer. Last year I bought them when they went on sale at Wally's.

Yes, that's my front yard and DH gets all the credit. I think we also have the perfect climate for spring flowers. We have apple, crab apple, quince, cherry and Asian pear trees in bloom. There's a company here called City Fruit who will net your trees and harvest the produce for food banks. I don't want them to tent the trees because it's really ugly and birds need to eat also. But it's nice once you're done with a fruit to have them take the extra.
Melissa, I would bet on the lemon balm to take over. We grow a little oregano in pots but with all those trees, we don't have enough sun for oregano to spread. In Houston, I would bet on the mint.

Wren, right now it is definitely the oregano. Lemon balm is one little clump behind the bucket.

Enjoying the opposites of Wren and Jazzys landscapes equally.
Melissa does the barrier keep your mint in? i agree oregano is so pretty and I love thai basil as a plant too. I made the mistake of planting spearmint in the ground and it would grow through our deck and in the yard. It sure smelled very good when you mowed it though.

Twohobbies, right now the oregano is the biggest part of the bed. The spearmint is not a problem, aside from the fact that it spreads deeper, than the oregano

My mint garden has three sides next to the grass. Those who mow will get a treat. I am using a piece of house siding to keep it out of my other garden. They only spread on the ground, not by roots, but even if they do try to duck under the siding, it is in too deep for them. I think.

Jazzy, I love your blooms. The cacti are things we never get to see here.

Unless you grow them as houseplants.

Yes we are having an unusual spring. Snow two weeks ago, 81 degrees Easter Sunday and this weekend more snow. It’s pretty on the flowers and green grass, at least.

Our Spring problem here (aside from late freezes) is insufficient winter chill hours. The daffodils will bloom late January/early February on 3” stems

Twohobbies...that is a lot to keep up with. The rose and snow photo is, however, beautiful.

I love looking at your new flowers, plants and animals enjoying spring. After your horrible winter, it's fun seeing all the spring pictures of new growth and life.

I love watching tulips open up. If you just leave them they go thru all sorts of gyrations. I've been painting them at different stages.
