@sheepnik i ordered these two, plus a samphire to try because the discount was more than its cost
bee collection for the aromatic border in the front and the herb tea mostly for the back. thanks for linking to their shop earlier.
@sheepchase Don't even think of ordering loun 😂 It probably is illegal. Anyway, the closer you can buy plants to home the better, both for fewer transport emissions and because the plants are more likely to be adapted to your weather.
Planting for bees is a whole thing. Have a look, I bet there's info on this in Japan.
@glitchontwitch Two and a half years ago I was rehoused from a flat to a shitty wee pensioner row house whose only amenity is some outdoor space. I wish I'd found a hobby that's more fun and less work but at least it's outdoors 🙃 Which is also a downside many days given the weather.
@sheepnik yes, i especially like the bee collection. good price for it too. will pick up some more next year but this a very workable start.
the plan is for thyme varieties and roman chamomile as ground cover with rosemary varieties etc for height. a trial thyme and rosemary (49p from Asda last summer) are doing well in the space. there's a lot of sand in the soil from the layer under the pavement so drainage is good.
