Bearing in mind we only went for some grass seed it was quite a haul that we came home with.
Our planting in the garden is a tad haphazard at the moment in that we just happen to see things that we like, buy them and then try and work out where is best to plant them. One area where I am applying a bit of a theme is around the decking. At one end is the large rosemary that was here when we moved in and around the rest of the deck I'm following it with other herb type plants.
A couple of types of lavender have already been planted, but over the weekend I also added another shade of purple courtesy of a heather (calluna is as much as the label says on this one).
Towards the rosemary I have included thyme and oregano (Country Cream). I have no idea if these will grow anywhere near the size of the rosemary, but they certainly extend my collection of home grown herbs. I certainly can't provide a whole meal's worth from the garden, but I can at least start by garnishing a meal!
Have you had a look at the plant stall on the market (in front of Marks and Spencer) ? They have some unusual and interesting plants at reasonable prices.
Not yet, but I certainly will do now! Thanks Anjie. Is that Wednesday market, or Saturday positioning? Or are they in the same place on both days?
The stall is J Cunnington Plants and they are at the market on Wednesday and Saturday. They are mentioned on this Plant Heritage website as a local specialist nursery http://www.nccpg.com/herts-and-beds/nurseries.html Happy gardening!
