garden before

This is what the garden looked like Wednesday morning, before I started digging up the grass. It didn't even look like a garden. I don't know what I can do about the mint (in the lower left corner), which started out as a sweet little patch, planted in a plastic container to keep it under control. Now the plastic container has disintegrated and the mint is out of control. I should have used a ceramic container. I wanted the mint for mint juleps on Kentucky Derby day and to make iced tea the way my father did. We always had a pitcher of nice, sweet iced tea with lemon and mint kept in the refrigerator. My mother still has the large glass pitcher he always used.
