You may recognise the purple pom poms in this bucket of clippings as members of the allium family - or more simply, the onion family. In fact it's the smallest of the edible onions and the flowers can be used in salads though personally I've never used them for anything but garnish.
The reason for the bucket was because it was time to trim the box
hedging back, I'd given it the Chelsea Chop (a good old cut back of
plants directly after the Chelsea Flower Show) and it's now starting to
merge into it's neighbouring plant.
The plan is to have a mini knot garden to edge the herbs. Like most of
my plans it will almost certainly decide it's own fate and I'll have to
put up with what I get but that's okay - I'm not precious about it....,
well, not much!
