Weeds are out of control with me now, I just keep thinking - one year seeded, seven years weeded! Very few apples at my mums and dads farm (my trees are too young) so you're lucky with your harvest, I've heard lots of people saying its a bad year for apples (around here at least).Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-81749992659035392352012-08-20T18:26:15.894+01:002012-08-20T18:26:15.894+01:00Love the herb sink, that's a great idea.

However, they never seem to like the mint.<br /><br />I actually grow weeds...most people think I'm an absolute nutter but I have a dedicated weed patch and grow a selection of weeds for my tortoises. When suitable weeds pop up in other areas of the garden I just transplant them into my patch! <br /><br />Ariellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757677694550476461noreply@blogger.com
