serenI'm a little disappointed that this post page doesn't show up very well in IE. I know, IE is of the devil and if everyone had any sense whatsoever they would be using firefox, because firefox is of the win and the good and all bow down to holy firefox. And breath. But it makes me laugh when I see oodles of posts on message boards about how firefox is causing this error and that error and t'other. *sigh* So I love my Avant browser and I can't use it to post here. Ah well, post at firefox and read at avant.
It's a lovely, sunny but windy day in Aberystwyth. I've just had a delivery of 16 rolls of turf, so we'll be sorting out the would-be herb garden at the weekend. The idea is that we lay the turn and leave a foot wide gap around the outside for herbs. The folks who had this house before used that patch as a vegetable garden. Which is a nice idea, but is only big enough for samples of different vegetables. I really want to be able to pick fresh herbs to use in my cooking, so a herb garden it is. Now, I have to decide what herbs I want. We've already got a very big rosemary bush and a curry plant. I think I'll have some basil and sage to be going on with, and perhaps some mint. P will put up a fence around the herb garden to keep the hen out! Inara would just love to get stuck into scratching it all up.
I haven't let Inara out yet. She hasn't shouted to the heavens that I am cruelly imprisoning her yet, so she must be sitting on an egg. She likes to take her time with an egg and sit on it for a while. She's not broody, thank heavens Black Rocks are not prone to that, but she likes to savour it for a while.
Well, all for this morning. TTFNQ

Date: 2009-04-24 06:31 pm (UTC)I got a code from someone last week, but I didn't have one to share with ya, as we'd sorta made a bit of a deal about that. I did get your message over at LJ, today!!!!!!! Seems half my messages are missing over there, again.
Anyway, wanted to drop by and say hi. I haven't posted a lot over here, as of yet. Will be posting tunez/mp3s same as over at LJ though

Date: 2009-04-25 12:29 am (UTC)What other sorts of herbs are you going to plant out? Some of the ones I have and love are chives, oregano, thyme, sage, and savory. I need to sprinkle out some cilantro and parsley seeds (I'm so far behind this year -- wehad VERY late frosts, snow, and hail).
I wnat to put in a lot of blueberry and other edible shrubs, too.
I need to get some basil...yummmmm.
Your Inara sounds like a love!
