  1. Trish;

    I created an herb garden in front of my cottage. It is filled to the brim with lavender ;-D and thyme, basil, rosemary, mint and sage....

    They keep growing and growing....herbs are the best. They need the most amount of sun, so make sure they get that and you will be rewarded with a great deal of treats :)

  2. Hello Lavender,
    thank you for the great tip!
    I hope these plants will get enough sun to grow well. If not, we'll just have to move the box out further into the centre of the yard.
    Your cottage sounds very beautiful :-)
    blessings..Trish
