If it is ok, I will post a few pics of the greenhouse and herbs...and we added a Eucalyptus tree two years ago, at one corner, which is now over 15 feet tall! The border that we used is about 3 feet wide with landscape timbers to keep the grass back (and mulched heavily), so it will accommodate many things like Lavender, when they are full grown. I have mixed in some Leeks, Black Adder Hissop, Garlic chives and Stevia, as well as Oregano, Pineapple sage, Buddeleia, Rosemary, Catnip, Cilantro,Dill and Fennel. Once they all grow together, it looks real nice and kinda anchors the greenhouse, too! It may be tomorrow before I get to the pics..but I will post them, along with the raised beds to give you an idea so that you can run with it!
