Circle without the herbs

I haven’t been in this garden for a month.

Bigger life events meant George hadn’t had the time or inclination to be in it. And this horribly wet August we’re having doesn’t exactly encourage anybody to be outdoors much.

So things have been merrily doing there own thang. Which means they look like this

The herb circle messed up with weeds.

But an hour later, George and I turned it into this

All spruced up again, re-circled, the runner beans and toms straightened.

That herb pot has gone tho. George gave it to Gill.

As a memento of/for Al.

Hotch potch of potpourri

I still call this the “herb circle” but it would be better to call it the “hotch potch” or the “potpourri”

Profuse with the scattered seeds of Kew Garden fragrant wild flowers.

As you can see it’s got runner beans too. And tomatoes going ” ballistic”.

(And there’s Sian’s little herb pot there)

Without any protection, fencing.

It’s just grown itself.

Done it’s own thang – gone whoosh!!

…..all things bright and rosy…!!

…..wanted to put pics on….but, wont let me, so will describe instead…

The garden after its new veg rows and runner beans, sweet peas and hollyhocks planted into the herb circle….which is being renamed as the ‘anthing that iv got left to plant, circle’ is flourishing….and looks really lovely…..will try and plant ‘kew garden selection of scented wild flowers’ (posh huh) seeds that ive grown in the green house, into the a.t.i.g.l.t.p. circle…soon!

Had, the man that does, to cut the grass and strim the edges and it looks absolutely lovely…..but in a relaxed, wild and wooly way, not all fluffy and groomed kind of way…..which is what i like…! so, its watch and wait and enjoy being in the garden and trying to stay on top of all those bleedin weeds….how come they grow faster than me plants…….still, im beating them at present….or maybe its 50/50…il think of them as plants that i havent planted….and enjoy them…(did i convince you? hmmm, lol)

Herb Circle

Or maybe it’s a jacuzzi.

Slide down a chute from the bedroom window.

Whoosh! Splash! Straight in

to a hot tub of luxurious bubbles.

Lovely.

I strip 3/4’s of the circle of its turf in 2 hours flat.

I’m impressed (with myself)

Porge has laid fine green mesh over the veg beds.

No cat shits. Ist Verboten!
