Landscape Design in Ruins
Wednesday April 19, 2006
No, this feature is not about a failed landscape design! These ruins are intentional, meant to mimic classical ruins. Although not popular in the U.S., this Old World landscape design style has a distinguished pedigree.

I’ve just taken over the garden of my parents as my mother died. In the garden have been some vegetables like tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and basil growing yet. There are also tulips and roses. Do you have any suggetstions what I could grow there else?

Hi Ken,
Herbs are an excellent choice for the beginning gardener. I notice you already have basil, but here’s some more information on growing herb plants. Herb plants don’t like a lot of fertilizer, but they do like good drainage. You can improve your soil’s drainage by mixing in compost and sand. Good luck.
