Perfect timing! I spent last Saturday winnowing over a pre dug border to remove unwanted and invasive plants from my front garden. (I am very fond of weeds, but these things give nothing and take everything). I bought a car boot full of woody shrubby herbs, lavender, thyme, oregano, salvia, and rosemary and planted them all in through a rainstorm. It felt really good to be out in the soil and the rain, just getting on with it, and the fragrance of those as yet small shrubs was just delicious. Today I bought a few packets of seeds more colourful floral things to fling into the border against the wall where I hope they will establish themselves and grow to be beautiful! I found myself singing to the plants as I worked. . . and they haven't withered yet!
Look forward to see your 'flung' seeds flourish, m'dear! I'm hoping to get some seeds planted on this weekend's New Moon. The greenhouse needs a good clean out first!
