A bed of "marshmello" strawberry plants were moved to another plot today and were planted through membrane. The resulting empty bed has been earmarked for use as a herb bed for quite a while and plants have been sown, propogated or bought, in readiness over the last 4 months.To add some interest I have made 2 herb wheels in the bed from bricks reclaimed when I knocked our fireplace out to make way for a multi fuel stove.
There is plenty of room for herbs even as big as lovage which grows up to about 6' high. All of the perennial favourites will be there including rosemary, thymes, mints, fennel, tarragon and lemon balm to name but a few. Hopefully they will also bring in lots of friendly bugs such as lacewings in the battle against greenfly and the like.
