At last! The herb table I made yonks ago now has herbs in it. Today we went up to the garden centre (the one that Alan used to visit all the time, right next to Birdworld) to buy another compost bin, some seeds so Mirinda can pretend to be a gardener again this year and some herbs and compost for the herb table.
And we actually managed to get all of it! Usually we’ll wind up without one or two things we’d wanted plus a few we didn’t plan on buying. But today the expedition was a success.
After hauling it all home, I left Mirinda to scrub about in the bed pulling out weeds and generally cleaning it up while I built the compost bin then started on the herb table. It didn’t take long.
This is what (& where) I planted:
What herbs are where
The alpine and the pinks were NOT my idea. Apparently they’ll look nice. I’m not convinced.
The mug rest is a brick. This is Geoff Hamilton’s idea. It is so you can rest your mug somewhere when you go out to stand and look down the length of your garden, admiring it. Geoff designed the herb table.
So, I made a mug of coffee, rested it on my mug rest and admired the work I had done. And all was well.
Herb Table
Chelsea have had a bad week. That’s why I’m not talking about them.
Your herb table looks good,and the ones that have come up look very healthy. Poor Chelsea you should support them even when they lose.
