Step into my garden...

[shapeofthings]

Life of late has been fairly quiet. Work is taking pretty much everything I've got, so weekends are spend catching up on work, keeping the house in order and spending a lot of time doing very little. My sociopathic immune system leeches what remaining energy I have after work.

Still, I manage to potter about in my little garden here and there. It's lovely to wander about in the sun, smelling the herbs and listening to the hum of the bees going mental in the Greek basil. I love having a little patch of dirt to play in, and this is just big enough to grow my herbs, chillis & tomatoes whilst being very low maintenance. This makes me happy =o)

So please, come and take a wander about my little patch of dirt and pots. Stop to smell the herbs, or fondle the tomatoes (if that's more your style). Enjoy the flowers, and don't mind the bees: they're far too obsessed with the basil flowers to bother with anything else. The basil burst madly into flower once we put it in the dirt back in November, and hasn't stopped blooming yet. The European honey bees are completely smitten with it. I'd love to taste the herby honey they're making from it.
