farmers market

I couldn't help myself today at the farmers market. As well as purchasing some rather nice organic northumbrian beef mince, and a similar standard of pancetta, I spied the veg and herbs plant lady, and quickly relieved her of some lemon mint, lime mint, and a thyme plant. Heres the 'mints pot' - lemon mint for nice additions to gin and tonics ( on the Lady's recommendation), lime mint for extra limey mojitos, and the little seedlings are the garden mint for everything else, Ive grown from the tiny seeds.

The thyme has been planted out to the marley tile area, with the ivy - it should be hard enough to hold its own. Theres also been some shallot-rammage in this area, to see if they come up.

In other news, the peter pan roses are coming out to bask in the sun, very nice they are indeed, and the clarion lettuces have indeed bulbed up and will soon be ready for picking in their entirety - how exciting!
