I haven't used pesticides in a year. The garden is fertilized with on a rotated regime and the plants have become pest resistant. And the numbers of spiders and lizards and ladybugs in my garden have jumped. Here's one really pretty ladybug.
My hyssop has actually flowered. I have been looking forward to it since the last post on hyssop. I hadn't expected it to flower quite so fast but it has and I am thrilled to bits. I shall harvest today and make something with it. Pics tomorrow!!
And here is my tarragon... beautifully flowering. Before I started rotating my fertilizers, this never happened. No flowers at all. Nowadays, it flowers all the time.
Ladybugs are awesome =D

Hey girl... thanks!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're really a herb expert!
ReplyDeleteDuring my travels in Europe, I used to sigh when I see wild flowers growing in abundance. Your photos make me recall those beautiful sights. They look just like that.
ReplyDeleteTing - Hee! I think the flowers look better in pictures. The real thing (in a small pot) doesn't evoke those scenes in my head at all...
ReplyDeleteThe orange flower of Tarragon is really very pretty! I never seen this flower before!
ReplyDeleteYour garden must be very beautiful with so many flowering plants!
Thanks Malar - They're yummy in salads too!!

ReplyDeleteOKC - Teehee! Birds of the same stomach flock en bloc.... hmmm... the en bloc is supposed to rhyme with stomach.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Petunia: just chanced on this post. Like your other visitors, I simply love the flowers. Have never seen them be4 either. Also, didn't know tarragon had flowers!
