A collection of herbs is planned for the sunny side of the shed and I now have them started off. In the end I decided to put them in pots, rather than make a bed. Partly because the well-trodden earth by the shed is now like steel-reinforced concrete, so turning that over wasn’t going to happen without a stick of dynamite and maybe a JCB.

I now have two sages, chives, thyme, lemon balm, mint, rosemary and bergamot. Except, actually I’m writing this nearly two months later and the rosemary is no longer and I need to do another cutting.
