August Angustifolia

I love Lavandula Angustifolia and am really pleased with the sixteeen plants (bought from Groves Nursery in Bridport), that I have just finished putting in between the new box topiary balls that now line the stone steps.  The topiary came from one of my favourite and local suppliers Bellamont Topiary, who have a huge selection of shapes and sizes to choose from....it's like going to a sweetie shop for those that like that sort of thing!

The rain that we have been having over the last couple of weeks interspersed with some glorious sunshine has bought on another spurt of growth and the garden is starting to take shape and fill out.

The Potage garden has gone mad and unfortunately due to my lack of experties some of the vege has gone over before being picked.  The spring onions are about 4" in diameter and the cabbages both white and red are larger that footballs!  Ashley is just in the process of finishing off the fruit cage by putting up the netting and I'm hoping to get the chicken wire (hopefully rabbit proof) fence up before too long.
