My herb garden.

 Secret little garden rooms ......

   the sun's beginning to disappear behind a dark cloud.....

   A spot of tea and lemon loaf while I do some planting.......

This loaf tastes even better with a lashing of butter... (not good for my hips!!)

Thyme.......

                                                                 Rosemary.....

 
     And these happy faces all on the same bush.....a new type perennial petunia...

And my favourite...Margaret Roberts Lavendar.... all makes for a good place to hang one's gloves up!!
