It must have been about four weeks ago when I set to and
gave the herb garden a big haircut.
Marjoram, sage, rosemary, mint, lemon balm, and variegated
sage - all our bushes were given a
thorough trim! However I could not bring
myself to throw all the trimmings on the compost heap and stuck several large
clippings in a jar. Changing the water regularly this collection of cuttings
has been and still continues to provide a lovely display and aroma.
Across the ages, herbs and flowers have had special
meanings. In earlier centuries it became very popular to send bouquets or
posies of herbs with hidden messages of love and friendship, for example a posy
of thyme, mint and sorrel would convey affection.
