Herb bed

A trip out today resulted in us buying a whole bootful of herbs for a new herb garden being planed at the allotments. We have a small amount which are grown at home but as we don't have space for things like lovage, a custom bed is required. We picked up for £1 a pot, 6 varieties of mint, 3 of thyme, fennel, curry plant, sage and rosemary amongst others.

The mints were re-potted into 7 litre pots which will be plunge planted into the bed to stop them from spreading. The others will be planted directly into the ground as they are less invasive. although the Lovage which was a gorgeous gift from Wellie and Trousers will grow some 7 feet high.
