A WEEKEND AT THE MANOR

Time has been well spent in the garden , Ziggy ( my daughter`s dog ) and I welcomed and placed 1000 worms into the vegie and fruit gardens ....and then it rained through the night , it would have been magical for the freed boxed worms , I imagined them wriggling and giggling in the wet soil .
I got to harvest my healthy parsley and  Thai basil plants to use in my passato .
All my herbs are thriving in their new environment ....sage , mint , Vietnamese mint , chives , flat and curly parsley , Thai basil , garlic , stevia , oregano , coriander and rosemary ....I only grow what I are staples in my recipes .
 
Against all my training in horticulture......I planted out 2 pots of fresh seeds in pots ...let`s see what happens ...hey I don`t have a hothouse anymore ...and I`m up to the challenge .
I made passato ......and a chicken stock ,vegetable and pasta soup ...my friend Laufa has the flu , seriously soup cures all ailments , well this one will .
My cymbidium orchids are in bud ..they are loving the move
.
My daphne is housed in a huge pot and has always been placed near the entrance to the  front door , and it has the same position in my new place ....... it started flowering in April when it was relocated and it is still in flower and fragrant at the end of August .
