New Herb Labyrinth Update 24th October

-
I'm getting the plants out now due to these amazing October sunny days. Gaps will be filled with more herb plants when I have the finds. Donations in cash or herb plants always welcome :-)




I have to do more weeding and trim edges before I lay the outer ring.







Lavender plants in position for planting in this smudging stick herbs bed. Melissa and appropriate sages will go here too.




Bit of an overall view ...

This is a time when trees are truly turning colour around us in many places where we live. It is also a time we start to think about and plan our next tree planting season between November and March. This year I will talk about changes that I feel we need to make regarding our attitude and expectations of Tree Planting.  This includes encouraging nature's own regeneration planting and not being in such a rush or over ambitious with our own planting.                                                                                                                                     This also serves as a follow up to our March 'Us An
