A colony of snails, discombobulated by our turning of their soil, decided to pack up their houses and leave. |
Equipped with bags of soil, rescued pots, an assortment of tools, seeds, seedlings and a pair of gardening gloves for each of us we took upon us the task of making a start on our herb garden.
We planted: mint, oregano, parsley, purple carrots (!), coriander, marigolds and chives.
After much hauling of the extremely sodden soil we'd just bought, heaving of prickly pots, hoeing, digging, root tickling and watering I felt I'd earned the right to stand back and admire the fruits of our three hours hard labour...
...and realised that the fruits weren't visually that impressive after all. But it's a start, and that's the main thing.
Besides, we found a hoe in the garden, and how often can you say that?
