Part of the herb garden revamp

This shows how crowded the herb garden was before I enlarged it. Not bad growth for less than a year. Let's hope I have got it right this time.

The first photograph shows how crowded the sages have become and how they are dwarfing the box edging.


Here, I've enlarged the area and then dug in sand and compost to improve the soil and drainage. Then holes were dug for the plants (too small and I had to make them twice as big after taking this photo) and puddled in; filled with water and allowed to drain away before putting the plant in, firming it down and watering again.



The sages with more room. Behind them are two silver thymes surrounding my small Bay which I'm training around an old broomstick.
