Cutting the herb garden

Just taken the first real cuttings from the herbs around the side, and they're gently drying in the pantry.

The lack of cash has delayed things quite a bit, but as we've gained lots of suitable lengths of tin, we'll be able to finish the apricot bed soon. It involves using the tin as edging, and filling the large rectangle with good soil. We're also going to use some shorter lengths to edge it into about 5 smaller beds, where the herbs can finally go into the ground and grow to their little herbie hearts content.

And I think I've finally talked Pete into letting the mint actually be planted out, rather than just keep it in pots. it will look nicer and with the spearmint on one side and the choco-mint on the other, it'll smell wonderful.

So, that'll take care of the apricot bed at long last. Then we can get stuck into finishing the chook pen. Unfortunately, that also means we'll be back to slabbing again, but you can't have everything.
