Mobi, Your garden bed layout is quite nice. I've been watching this thread with interest and getting lots of wonderful hints and ideas for the future. I was going to plant a long narrow strip down the center of the driveway with a mix of thyme, chamomile, oregano, and moss phlox but didn't get to it in time this spring. I like the idea of planting saffron crocus among the thyme. Do you think it is better to plant just thyme or do you think a mixture (I'm thinking of a tapestry of leave shapes and colors ) of plants will work as well? Are there any other ground cover herbs or plants that could be included in a hot strip of garden ?
I temporarily planted some of the plants I purchased for the driveway strip in another small area I had open and they are growing well and I'm hoping to divide them next spring.
Unfortunately my camera is broken and the new one I ordered is lost in the mail so I can't show how it has filled in.
