Calendula

 

Just the two colours of the bgorage and calendula make my garden "pop"

Dead camellias are pretty too!

 

Purple Honesty flowers coming up through the lavender

 

Do you know what this? Because I don’t!

 

My main crop waiting to be planted (Agria and Red Rascal)

 

I looove the smell of Roman Chamomile…

 

..so much that I just have to lie down on it (it’s ok, it likes to be squashed or walked on now and then!)

 

Pear blossoms, hope the pears will be just as nice as last year

Raspberry leaf, maybe I’ll save the hassle of birds eating my crop and harvest the leaves..

 

Lifted my saffron bulbs the other day…

 

Look what my clever husband (Industrial Fusion) has started making. Steel garden art!
