Herbs and flowers in the spring garden

The garden is a riot of colour and the herbs are ready to be used.

Bird of Paradise

Fennel

Orange Blossom

Lavender

Bottle brush tree

Different mints

Rosemary and herb brush for the BBQ

Spring colours

A lovely spring evening called for a walk in fields around Xirosterni

The Lupins are in full array carpeting the fields in blue

The tiny wild Irises giving a more delicate shade of blue

Sea Squils filling other fields

Jerusalem sage with their splash of yellow

Chamomile daisies bobbing merrily in the breeze

Tiny pinpricks of colour among the green leaves

white and lacey

The light was fading over the White Mountains

The bold splash of poppies

A little blossom left on the Almond trees

Glorious blossom everywhere

A hidden glimpse of yellow

Herbs in the garden

The weather is not so good today - That is perfect for the garden!

Yesterday it was glorious weather and I spent some hours repotting herbs and taking cuttings of herbs and flowers

The rainy weather will help them set in

Throw a few coriander seeds from your kitchen into a pot with soil and they will grow!

Fresh herbs for the kitchen are wonderful all year round.

Mint is best in a pot, unless you have a lot of space and are happy for it to go wild!

If you buy a stick of celery , cut the bottom off the stem if it has roots and plant it!
