The weather has been perfect for planting. With all those lovely showers the water restrictions were no bother at all
After all that time preparing the soil, then waiting for my “Gardening with the Goddess” book and then extended herb buying trips it was finally time to put my little darlings in the ground.

Dont forget the mulch! In this pic I had just started to mulch (top of photo).

It still looks a bit barren but now I can get into the fun stuff of decorating the space to resemble the sacred space I wish it to become. Light of my Life is working hard at refurbishing a garden bench with heavy cast iron ends we managed to find on ebay. It’ll take awhile, but somewhere down the track I’ll post pictures of the finished product.
That’s it folks…..I’m tired
Stay Herbal!

Heavens! I’m waiting for this book too!
I have little knick-knack things in my small garden areas which I bought from $2 shops and similar, little objects which no one really notices but they symbolise the elements. For example, a doll’s tiny teacup for Water, a miniature candlestick from an old game of Cluedo for Fire etc

It’s a great book!
You have some great ideas re the elements. I am thinking of making tiles which correspond with the 4 compass points and their relevant elements.

That’s looking wonderful! I love the idea of knick-knacks and things to symbolise the elements, or whatever you want them to symbolise.
I look forward to watching your garden grow
