The neat row of greek basil made an appearance overnight after several days beady-eye watching. As you can see it's coming on nicely.

Being a victorian end-terrace, our gaff has a less common arrangement 'round the back': a back yard (boundary wall just in view through the window), which leads out onto a shared unadopted road/path, then a little back garden (where I've previously blipped this, this and this.

We decided this year to create a haven for potted herbs in our backyard instead of it being just a storage area for the greenliddedwheeliebin, so after a few months saving (new years' resolution, not to buy what we can't afford) we were all set to order a couple of cast iron etagere's from Cannock Gates when we found out they've gone into administration.

Great. Just great. Who said buying stuff when you actually HAD the money in your pocket was a good idea?
