There haven’t been any updates for a couple of months. I hit a rough patch with my mental health and spent most of my time just flopping listlessly about and sleeping all the time. It wasn’t a very bad spell; I was still going to work, although I pretty much stopped brushing my hair and wore the same clothes for days at a time. While this was going on the garden was slowly getting more and more overgrown and the plants I had left were going to seed. Luckily for both me and my garden, Mum and Dad packed a weed eater and an inflatable mattress into the car and drove down to the rescue. They arrived on a Thursday afternoon and by the time they left on Sunday morning the garden had been whipped into shape and I was feeling much much better about everything.
Unfortunately, it’s now May and not great weather for gardening. But, I have my little greenhouse to grow things indoors and All Things Herbal has a lot of recipes’ that use the herbs I have already planted, so there should be enough to be going on with.
I didn’t take any photos of the parental working bee, but this is a butterfly I saw on a fence while I was walking to the shops with my Mum.
