Ciao! 29 OCT 2011

coriander in bloom, growing these for seed and beauty

hiding in the understory a san marzano tomato and some basil. just planted watered in after the photoshoot hoping to see these little ones thrive, am trying out some planting options this year after a difficult season last summer

coriander and rochetti still harvesting delicious leaf off the rochetti, hoping these will self seed

my little broadbeans, looking forward to some lovely middle eastern meals from these beans

the charm of chaos

i find broadbeans breathtakingly beautiful



The heart of the comfrey, i thought i would lose this when i first rescued it from the nursery, but this plant has rewarded me well

the beautiful bloom of the comfrey plant

my first strawberry of the season! with my space constraints i have added hanging planters of strawberries, thise were only potted in 2 weeks ago and still need a little TLC but they seem to have made themselves at home

another bloom on the strawberries, oh joy! freshly picked strawberries are a delight

in here is my blackcurrant, some garlic, sage, a chrisanthemum for my dear Mum, and a brocolli in bloom everything looks rather happy there, and i had terrible trouble with this spot last year and lost many plants 

another viewing of one of the comfreys blooms


a view of the entire comfrey

My new Valerian, i watered everything in after the photo shoot tomorrow i will weed a little and as the rain starts to clear i will start laying on mulches and clearing the gum leaves that innundate the gardenregularly

the first sucker from the comfrey i think it can stay , or perhaps ill pot it on

my now sprawling patch of oregano , taking cuttings this week

my spring brocollini expecting a few good harvests from this before the heat drives it to flower
