Herb Garden Tidy-Up

Hi there!
I gave myself a plum holiday today!
The herb garden area has been annoying me as its so overgrown and straggly.
Even though it was pretty hot out there, it was great to get in and give everything a severe haircut.

The feverfew and the sort-of-curry plant were a bit out of control

The fennel is always out of control but I kinda like it 🙂
Then there was the little fence thingy we put up around an old water heater to hide it. Had grand visions of growing vines over it. Sadly only big weedy grasses took an interest.

I took a fair bit of weeds, rubbishy leaves & prunings out of the garden

So much better! I will do something a little more aesthetically pleasing around the water heater and also thinking of another rosemary plant in the back corner there… its a hard spot and something to just go mad in there would be ideal.

I gave the area a good soaking. Watered various other areas of the garden and did random weeding. The hothouse got a bit of a weeding as did the entryway into the main garden.

I even made time to get into the kitchen and try making those raspberry chocolates again! I used more sugar in the leather this time, but it takes ages and ages, remains sticky and is still reasonably tart! But mixed in with the chocolate, I am a fan. (Says she sneaking back into the fridge again!)

I eventually figured I should go and see what raspberries needed picking since I failed to get out there yesterday. I was partway through my job and Cousin Jeff pulled up with a massive trailer load of wood – then asked if we wanted it? Haha – yeah sure!
We have to stock up at some point, so why not!
Three and a half metres.
One thing is for sure. Its really hard to achieve boredom at Norwich House!

Cheers
