Discoveries in the garden

Matt discovered this lurking behind the hibiscus and some other bushes at the back of our garden.



I was intending to buy a compost bin almost identical to this! I dragged it out of the garden - it's covered in spiders and cockroaches and snails and god knows what else. Some genius had put a plastic bag and a can in it and there was a bit of mulch left in the bottom, which is just sitting in the garden now.

Now, to get rid of the bugs on it. Find out where I should put it, and get composting!

And my herbs have picked up after a cool change in the weather and good watering. The sage and parsley look a lot better now, the coriander is still a bit yellow and limp, I hope it picks up. I have to restrain myself from using it and pulling off all the leaves before the poor plant has time to establish - I LOVE coriander.
