Cooling a little now so I'm off outside to try again. Have just found a white ermine moth on the living room wall. Never seen one before. Isn't it gorgeous?
Can't find what it eats but I shall move it to the nettle patch in case it wants to lay eggs.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
This year, I put an old metal table outside my back door and put every kind of herb that I like to use on it, in little pots. They seem to like it and look healthy. Also, I have actually used all of them. In the past, I have put them in the ground down the garden and not used them.
I have included a new rosemary as the one down the garden got pulled out by me recently. Took two days to get out and was woody and all rotten. Still, it did well. Lasted many years, in completely the wrong location for it.
A herb table sounds like a great idea and I'll be doing something similar for the shade loving herbs as our terrace is on the north side of the house and just by the kitchen door so very handy. The new, sunny herb bed will be handy for summer BBQs and easy to get to when I need it in winter.

Did anyone go to Sissinghurst in September 2015???
A gentleman is trying to find a male who took a photograph of him and his wife. It would be the last picture they had taken together before she sadly passed away.

Hi all.
Very wet all day, but really warm.
Spent day in greenhouse potting on, pricking out and sowing, whilst listening to some tunes.
Got a bit carried away at times, whilst doing air guitar solos, but I think all plants survived.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Bet it wasn't as warm there as it was here Pdoc ...... 28.3C in the shade this afternoon!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
