A wheel of becoming!
A herb & wee veggie bed ( under the whirlygig!!)

25 Aug, 2009

 

great mari! whats a whirlygig? lol

25 Aug, 2009

 

The thing you dry clothes on!

25 Aug, 2009

 

oh right, doh lol

25 Aug, 2009

 

The wheel bit is to represent the wheel of life, or in Buddhist speak "Wheel of Becoming" . But I need somewhere to dry my laundry too, so the middle of the wheel is ideal!!
Now to find something for the spokes!!

sounds very intreging mari, think i may have to read up on some of the things to do with buddism,,:o) ive heard it has helped alot of people deal with their lives and become stronger for it

It has me, but I wont preach about it! We all need to find our own paths! I was drawn to the non-judgemental aspect of it and the emphasis on compassion!

you have been busy Mari it will be great with son herbs under your washing..it will smell lovely..;-))

well i always think like you dont spreach but if it works thats great mari, my brother when young got into bad things but he decided with his wife then to turn to "born again" not my thing but it certainly changed his life and for that i am gratefull , he doesnt belong to the born again church now but he still thanx them for saving him from a terrible life

It'll be good if I ever get it finished Sandra! It took me a week to get enough dry weather to dig the thing!!
I've just been to the woods for a load of green willow!
Now I need to find some herbs! I wonder if I can find the wild garlic, I love that!

Sanbaz, my twin brothers have chosen totally different paths from me AND each other! One is a Pentecostal minister, & the other is a Catholic! Like I say, we all head in the same direction, but the path we follow to get there has to be our choice!
Sermon over! LOL!

25 Aug, 2009

 

Good! Happy to be of service! :~))))))))

Looks really good MP, I'm impressed!

Look froward to seeing the 'growth' in there, as it were!!

25 Aug, 2009

 

Hi Dan! How was work?
So far I've got lettuce basil coriander, thyme & parsley to put in (only 1 of each tho just now) so it'll take a while to fill in. I want stuff like chamomile & echinacea but they're too tall for there!

25 Aug, 2009

 

I didn't have work, remember!! Day off!

Save on washing conditioner!!

25 Aug, 2009

 

Oh yeah! I forgot! Oops!
How save on conditioner? Save on hair conditioner maybe!!

25 Aug, 2009

 

I'm a bit concerned Mad. Now you have finished digging, there is no pussa cat. Please don't say that she is under; oh dear, I can't continue.

25 Aug, 2009

 

No, she got fed up with me & went in the house!!

25 Aug, 2009

 

Looking Good MP, Looking forward to seeing it Planted up..

25 Aug, 2009

 

Save on conditoner smell coz of all the lovely fragrances off the herbs etc will drift up into the washing that is drying

25 Aug, 2009

 

Thanks!
So am I Daisy! Now I just need the plants to go in it! It'll look a bit naff with the few I've got so far! I COULD always put the Carex there in the meantime tho!

25 Aug, 2009

 

Oh!
We must've posted at the same time Dan! Sneaking up on me like that! Yes, they will make the clothes smell good! But will they SOFTEN them???

25 Aug, 2009

 

Depends....

25 Aug, 2009

 

Hi,
I've got a pile of herbs in Forfar that I was going to chuck out, but I can't bear to do it. I've 2 kinds of camomile, english thyme, doone valley thyme, chives, marjoram, mint .....If you want them then they are yours for a wee something in my charity can. I've loads of other perennials going spare too. Just send me a private message and I'll give you my address.

25 Aug, 2009

 

That would be fantastic, Romneya! Thank you! I'll need to try to get transport, but I'd be more than grateful! Couldn't come til after the end of the month tho!

25 Aug, 2009

 

Looking good m x

28 Aug, 2009

 

Thanks Jen!
And thanks to Romneya, its going to look a lot better!!
Romneya, you're an angel, & it'll be good to meet you!

If you fancy having chamomile, go for the non flowering kind 'Treneague'. It's much more compact than the flowering one but it has that delicious smell just the same, a good one to put around the edges as the more you step on it the more it'll spread! 8-)

28 Aug, 2009

 

That's the one I want to make a lawn with! But I love chamomile tea, so I'll probably get the flowering onetoo, just not for THAT bed!

28 Aug, 2009

 

i used the flowering one by mistake. it was lovely bt it grew too much...

28 Aug, 2009

 

I use the leaves fron the plain one for tea also, tastes just as good, but must admit I do love the flowers, they always looks so delicate and fresh looking.

28 Aug, 2009

 

Can you cut the flowering one like grass?
I like the flowers too, & they smell so good as cut flowers!
But I love the idea of a fragrant lawn that doesn't need mowing!!

28 Aug, 2009

 

i did like it JJ but it didnt like being walked on...;-))

28 Aug, 2009

 

Hmmmm! I'll opt for flowering in the flower bed, & Treneague for a lawn then! All because of a book title!! LOL!

28 Aug, 2009

 

8-)

28 Aug, 2009

 

sounds good to me Marie...well the wine has evaperated and im off to bed now.....goodnight ;-))

28 Aug, 2009

 

Goodnight! I'm off in a mo too! I'm working tomorrow!
