There's a lot more interesting things in the planters than previously.........

For a more interesting salad there's chives, Welsh Onions, pink hyssop, Indian Mint and Cologne Mint. There are several herbs that teas can be made from including lemon verbena and Indian Mint (check out the smell!). There's also plenty of great culinary herbs such as rosemary, sage, parsley, oregano, mint, French Tarragon (good with fish). Why not try crystallized lavender flowers for cakes - they can be coated with egg white and dipped in icing sugar, then frozen. They will keep for up to a month in the freezer.

Go and check out what's new in the planters!

All we need from you is to add some water if you are on your commute (or just feel like it!)....!!!!

Thanks to Mary and Judith - the planters are looking really good. I'm happy to pop along with water now and again, and looking forward to using some herbs.
