For those of us that enjoy seeing a nice garden but don't hing you have the time and that is too much work here are some plants that are simple to grow and will add fragrance and color to your garden.
- If you have cats like I do then this first one is a must have in your garden. Catnip is just about one of the easy plants to grow since it is tolerant to most conditions, it is very hardy, it seems to thrive on abuse, and when it flowers it will attract the honeybees the rest of the garden needs. My cats just love rolling on the plants, rubbing them, and chewing on the leaves.
- A must have for adding color to the garden is marigolds. They come in a variety of sizes and colors. Marigolds will live in most conditions, some varieties do better than others in our climate, and are pretty much just a set and let grow plant. One of the most fascinating things I found out about marigold is that they act as a tranquilizer for bumblebees. One year we planted quite a few and when the bumblebees landed on them and we waited a few minutes they were so drowsy that we could actually pet them.
- Pansies are another easy to grow plant that adds lots of color. They come in a wide variety of colors and they will comeback for years.
