Hello Henrietta, A this is kind of linked to craft, hope the moderators will not mind me talking of geraniums and such. Do you grow the scented leaf geraniums, they are lovely.  We have a highly scented lemon leaf and an apple scented leaf, one also of a pine leaf scent and an orange like one too.  These are lovely dried and used in with the spice herb mix that goes into spice gift bags. Geraniums here will grow outdoors through our winters so it is milder in temperature.  The peppermint  geranium we had died after so many years of growing, so we need to replace it again, it has such big felty leaves and smells so minty. 

How nice to have so many trees in your garden, we have a huge Tasmanian Blue Gum right down the back of the yard, it is always filled with birds mainly parrots  and now and again a koala visits there, sometimes he comes down into the yard - very cute. 
It's been great for me to lean of your USA too, so much in common, but also so much to learn of new things  new crafts especially.  You are right about gardening in pots, it is a great way to have things on hand near to the house and also easy to move the pots to sunnier or shaded areas when you need. . 
Very best wishes.. Valerie
