What kind of herbs do you have there... up to now, Katarina?

Hi Klahanie,

I have there Echinacea (two sorts) - you can see the leaves at the foot of the rose shrub (I recently cut flowers).
Some names are in Latin, as I do not evoke in my mind all English names:
Sage
Rosemary
Summer savory and Santolina - both were old and had wooden branches, so I digged them out in September and will have to plant new.
Primrose (Oenothera biennis), Calendulla oficinalis and Thymus citriodora (all 3 from the other side of grass)
Thymus vulgaris
Chamomille
Oregano
Opium poppy
Lavender
Rose
Hibiscus syriacus

I wish to have Valeriana officinalis and Pulmonaria officinalis, but I cannot get their seeds in GCs.
And, of course, I have some bushes and trees scattered in the garden (sweet chestnut tree, ficus carica, blackberries, etc.)

That is already good collection of plants Katarina.
I used to have ficus carica but it died. My friend has one and had many figs on it. Did you get any fruit on it?

I love the "blooming" grass you have there
Do you have name for it?

It is some sor of Miscanthus sinensis, but I do not know its special name, as they usually have after family name.

I have two ficus trees and both have fruits, about the bucket(per year). The problem is with ripening - if the August and September are not enough sunny, the fruits do not ripen well. But somebody said here, that I can keep it on trees till next year and it will ripen. We will see. But yes, this year I have a lot of fruits.

it looks good, but you'll find your ideal, a tweak here and there till it's exactly as you want it.
