Minted!

The raised bed has had a few identities and uses, with some being more successful than others.  It has proved to be a suitable 'nursery bed' and good for hardening off plants such as cosmos, cucumbers, sunflowers and sweetcorn.  However, I have now decided upon a more permanent arrangement!  Enclosed at the back is a small Brown Turkey fig-tree; this is one of two in the garden as a reminder of my sister Kate, and will be a permanent spot as the roots are best contained.  There is also a rosemary and some cornflowers.

The rest of the raised bed's theme is... a variety of mint!  So, a veritable cornucopia of different nuance of flavours and aromas. 

New finds will be added as and when. 

In preparation for the summer, I am looking up different cocktail recipes which might require a mint garnish or two!
