The winter herb bed

Our allotment herb bed is not particularly sheltered from the4 cold weather we have been having over the last few weeks but the plants are all in really good condition still.

This bronze fennel is even sendingh out new growth now.

Sage is always very welcome in the kitchen and this plant still has lots of useable leaves on it.

Our oregano, despite needing all of last years flower stems cutting out is again putting on new growth despite the weather

This is one of several thyme plants in our herb bed. All are in great order, despite being picked most weekends for use on the sunday roast with any left over bits being kept in a glass of water ready for use later in the week.
