Simply Grow..and run to seed....

A gentle disarray reigns over the herb beds.

Everything has gone to seed, but it has its charm.

I'm reluctant to clear it away yet....the bees love it, and the goldcrests,

and they make a delicate vaseful on the corner of the bath - dill, parsley, rocket, mustard and night scented stock - oh, the scent of that stock at bathtime!

It's that time of year isn't it - some parts of the garden still full of late summer flowers - others looking past their best. Your simple flowers in the bathroom are delightful. I can almost smell the stocks from here.

How sad you must feel to lose your field after all that time!

I wouldn't admit this to everyone but I have shed a few tears over it - silly I know - it's only a piece of land but it holds a lot of memories of a way of life that I always dreamed about and managed to achieve. Still - time now to look forward not back.

I have the very same ones which will be featured in my Friday flower posy - they are so different from the normal Cosmos aren't they - I grow Cosmos every year and have tried Bright Lights this year as well which are unusually oranges and yellows - delightful.
