Finished!

Hello!

It's finished! The ugly outdoor setting is now covered in plastic wrap until it can be placed in our very own garden. But before getting all wrapped up, it posed for a photo. Ta da...


I'm actually quite happy with how bright it is. After renting in bland beige houses for too many years to mention, I want everything bright and individual when we finally have our own shack to decorate.

Other projects for the house I have on the go at the moment, are 6 rosemary plants that I propagated from cuttings from my cousin's rosemary plant. I dipped them in honey and placed them in a fairly loose potting mix (of my own creation)...Here they are originally...


And, I am pleased to announce, that after six months, they all grew roots and have been planted in slightly bigger pots, and they have all added a couple of inches worth of growth.

{they are the little ones}


With the herb garden in mind, I am trying to grow at least 6 English Lavender from seed. I have lots of little sprouts in each pot, so this may have worked (crossing all fingers and toes that are not broken). And 12 pots of parsley. And some more thyme and sage. I may also try and propagate some sage from my existing plants when the weather is better due to the success with the rosemary and it's just, if not more, exciting than growing from seed.

That was my weekend.

Ciao,

Ms. Whatsit.
