ANOTHER GLORIOUS DAY!

Hope your day/night is going well, mines going swimmingly! Hubby & son completed the herb garden for me on the weekend, so I took a day off to plant out! I have planted out both medicinal and cooking herbs, and there's some wonderful things in there, including my all time favourite the Mushroom Plant -HERE for more info. And here is the semi-finished product. Unfortunately many I wanted they didn't have in stock so have to wait until they all come in, however here is what I managed to plant: Mushroom Plants, Marigolds, Lemon Balm, Borage, Rosemary, Onion Chives, Thyme, Sag, Parsley Leaf (Celeriac), Pennyroyal, Coriander, Majorum, Basil and Camomile. I have yet to spread more straw and plant the ordered ones as they arrive, however it feels great to have got moving on yet another project on the list! I miss eating all those fresh fruit & veggies from the old house, I want everything to grow yesterday! The weather here has been cold, a couple of frosts, -1.5C the other morning and some much needed rain for the cockies (Aussie slang for farmers). We could still do with another couple of inches but the half inch we recieved will do for starters, more planned for the middle of the week.
Hope the week ahead is a good one for you Take care of you and yours:)
