I picked some of our Lily of the Valley to bring in this morning and they smell gorgeous.
One of the roses from my Mother’s Day bouquet has dried beautifully.
Another of Mum’s herb books, Handbook of Herbs published by The Early American Life, turned up today and I loved this poem on the first page of a catalogue that she had tucked inside.
Oliver Goldsmith (10 November 1728 – 4 April 1774)

I’d love to reproduce that herb garden.

So would I! The book is full of lovely designs that I would love to try if only we had much more space. 🙂

Yes, space is an issue for me too. But I have a plan to remove the rest of the lawn to create more planting space.

We removed half the lawn in our last house and were very pleased with the garden we planted there.

We may yet dig up more lawn. We are leaving one patch to go wild with long grass, daisies and buttercups. 🙂
