Frost in May

.....hail, sleet, gales, torrential rain...................but today, at last, sunshine. everything a bit waterlogged but at least a chance to do some weeding and tidying. main task to revamp the herb barrel, which put up stiff resistance but has now been replanted with new mint and thyme as well as bits of the old mint and thyme (applemint and black peppermint, lemon thyme and ordinary).  don't know if the oregano will make it but we can only try, it has survived three winters despite being a Mediterranean herb, not frost-hardy etc etc...........obviously it does not know that so as long as nobody tells it we should be fine........

pleased to see that the catmint has taken in the annual bed...........have flung in some annual seeds as there's no point in doing anything too ambitious till the yard is gravelled but if they come up it will look pretty............we brought some of our self-sown nasturtium seedlings and a couple of borage seedlings seem to have come along for the ride, so have put them in the beds and the nasturtiums in the window-box. and the rest is down to the weather...............
