I' ve Got Babies!!

Babies!!

I'ved always wanted a cottage garden - meaning that I wanted to grow a variety of shrubs, perrenials, bulbs, herbs and annuals all at one time in one garden. Another requirement was that the plants needed to self seed as much as possible. Well it has finally happened and I have baby basil plants. It is so exciting. Maybe it was the rain and the seeds were just waiting to germinate with the elixir of rain water? Whatever the reason it is great.

I've been planting lots of murrayas this afternoon to have a hedge, curry plant, sage, catnip, daisies, aspidistra and lavender. Hopefully there won't be any early frosts and they will all be able to establish well in the next few weeks.
