A day Spent with Herbs ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ
The Herb Garden is coming on nicely.
Everything is growing fast and flowers are emerging..
Thyme is just stating to flower, Dandelions have set seed. Comfrey is buzzing with bees on the flowers, Valerian flower buds about to burst. Golden Oregano just glowing and Ladybird sitting in the Soapwort.. So many seeds to come out to be planted too..
It really helped me to get out and about today been a bit low in mood and nursing yet another knee injury which has slowed me down. But just being outside and amongst the herbs and getting hands in the soil has helped, and I smell of mint and Strawberries now too.. which is a bonus ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“

Happy St Georgeโ€™s Day
I picked this pic as it has lots of flowers that are healing plants. Including Aquilegia, Oxeye Daisy, Rose and Lily of the valley. Maybe St George was Treated with Herbal remedies for his wounds from his battle with the Dragon. ๐Ÿ‰ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ
