New Year Gardening Plans. Part III

This year, in addition to growing the herbs and vegetables that I had successes with last year, I would like to grow a few new things.
Investing into perennial herbs would probably be a good idea. I want to try planting sage, thyme, oregano, and tarragon. These herbs often appear in the recipes in my favorite cooking book, so having them at hand would be great.
I would also love to try growing raspberries. From the online accounts of other Californians growing raspberries in their gardens, I’ve learned that raspberries don’t grow that well here and only produce few berries. However, I would be more than happy to have even few raspberries for my little boy to pick. That’s settled then, I will plant a raspberry bush this spring.
Finally, I want to have more flowers in my garden. What else can delight the eyes as flower beds? What else can embellish any room as a bouquet of freshly cut flowers? The flowers that I already have in my garden are roses, cyclamens and a newly planted calla lily. The flowers that I would love to have in my garden are tulips, lily-of-the-valley, gerbera daisies, and chrysanthemums. These are my favorite flowers!
