My Garden's Working Progress

I don't really do much oriental cooking. I'm a bit of a traditionalist with my cooking.

Will defiantly buy some Lemon Balm if I can find it in the garden centres next week.

Does anyone use a lot of Dill? I understand it's an annual and wonder if it's worth the effort of growing every year. Am thinking about growing some chamomile too, but don't like the tea, (perhaps I made it wrong when I had it last) but thought it might be a useful herb to have in the garden.

How should chamomile tea taste anyway? I found it tasted really bitter when I had it last.But didn't add any milk, lemon, sugar or honey too it.

 

Send me your address and I'll pop a plant in a jiffy bag. I have some little seedlings popping up up

 

I've been building myself a nice missile for the back garden as a bit of feature.

 

When's the launch JJ?
And, more importantly, who's it being aimed at??

 

007 going to accompany her?

 

The birds of course!

 

For my birthday yesterday the other half took me out to buy a few plants.

Bought the following

1x Sweet Bay Shrub
5 x Chive plants
2 x Curly Leaved Parsley
1 x Golden Marjoram
2 X French Tarragon
1 x Sage
1 x Fatsia Japonica
1 x Honeysuckle "Halliana"

Was tempted to buy a Nandina shrub reduced from £50 to £5 but didn't. Will hopefully buy a few more today but the ones I'm after seem a little more hard to find

 

Belated birthday wishes, Jane :hpybtd:
You have some lovely plants there!

 

I have just read this thread from start to finish Jane you are an incredible worker. You have done a brilliant job. I would love to come and see your garden you cannot be all that far from me. Take care and do have a rest sometime. I suppose you now have all those plants to put in.

Belated birthday wishes by the way!:hpybtd:

 

Happy birthday for yesterday Jane.

:hpybtd:

 

love the bird feeder. and loving your updates. gorgeous garden as always

 

I've just read the whole thread and what an amazing amount of work you have put in. I love the paving and the way you have set the garden out. The bird feeders look great too. I hope you really enjoy planting up your new purchases!

 

Haven't really done much because of the awful wet weather we have been having. I've got quite a few things to paint outside and I just can't do them because it's so wet or cold.

Work on the gate has began and it's shaping up nicely. This will be a double gate and is being made by Mr JJ.

Here's some progress shots he's taken up to the halfway point.
