I’ve been picking herbs & foliage from the garden to add to our bouquets this week – rosemary, curry plant, lemon mint, spearmint, garden mint, rosemary, myrtle, lauristina and lavender.
Having given up the allotment, I’m quite pleased with my herb & vegetable collection which I have in pots on the patio. The purple sprouting broccoli plants are already too big for their container, & I’m wondering where to plant them out.
It seems to be a bad year for strawberries, but the raspberries are looking good, along with the blackcurrants. The plum tree is heavily laden with fruit. I walk along the lane & collect cherry plums to make jam with.
We have a wasps’ nest in the loft, & bees nesting under the shed. Sean’s worried the wasps will become a nuiscance, but they just seem to be busy with the nest at the moment.
Let’s hope this gorgeous weather continues!
