The sky tonight;
forget-me-not blue with spider-web light.

Some days when the air is just right, often after a shower, it becomes the time of the herbs and the whole garden is filled with their fragrance. Today was one of those days.The air was cool and damp with a slight breeze that touched lavender and rosemary, tumbled in thyme and sage, lemon balm and carried their essence to me the moment I stepped out of my door. It was heavenly.

There are herbs all over the garden because whenever I prune them I hate to throw the cuttings away, so I stick them in every available free space, but mostly around the patio, by the edges of paths or where you might brush against them as you pass. Planting this way doesn't make for a very tidy garden but it does wonders for your soul.
And, of course, they can do incredible things in the kitchen. :p




A little pressie for Janet :-)
