Restoring my Herb Garden - part one

 The first thing I had to do today was to lop off that palm branch that has been bashing the top of my greenhouse in this weeks gales .

                             Done !

 Then my thoughts turn to what was my lovely herb garden ...now choked with grass and weeds . 

 The herbs are still in there ....somewhere  !

I am leaving the Bluebells and the Cowslips , rescuing others if I can .

  Lemon Balm , Sweet Woodruff , Thyme , Marjoram , Rosemary , beautiful Lemon Verbena and Rosa gallica mundi versicolour (probably spelt wrong !) 🌿

 

    A few Cowslips that I will replant somewhere else ...and Sweet Woodruff. 

I love Sweet Woodruff the best , it smells so sweet as it dries....mmm heavenly !

    

 ✨   Dried Sweet Woodruff under your pillow for sweet dreams .✨

 There is one nice clump of Foxgloves , I will leave that for the bees . 🐝🐝🐝

Made a good start . I filled the wheelbarrow then just threw the weeds onto the path to collect up later .   😜

The Rose is in the foreground . 

Between the rose and the Phoenix canariensis palm , is one very out of control Artemisia vulgaris /variegated Mugwort .  This is one herb I can do without .

  

Just putting a sprig of this under your pillow will induce horrendous nightmares ! 

 Growing ten feet tall and it's roots spreading to take over the planet ...Out ! Out ! Out !   

 

 Oh ! Maybe I'll put it into a tub of it's own . You never know when I might need it for some magic spell  ✨✨✨

    

 I couldn't move the wheelbarrow it was SO heavy . So I filled up three sacks to take to the tip and will do some more weeding when I have rested and recovered .

   The ground is starting to dry out and becoming hard to dig , so I may wait until we get some rain to make it easier to dig and finish the job .

  

 I will do a quick sweep up tomorrow morning . ....honest I will !  😜               

                                         Bye fer now !    

                               Love and Peace 💛Debbie x
