Hebes, Salad and Hypericum

Something that flowers year after year but have to admit taken for granted is the Hypericum Hidcote. I discovered this wonderful shrub many years ago and would have it in any garden I created.

My large Hebes are in full flower once more, beautiful flowers with a light perfume and much loved by the bees.

The Greek Cress went down well adding a very peppery taste to the salads. The only disappointment to date is the Purslane which has been very slow. However I have a second sowing which seems to be coming along much better.

I have started my tomato questions and answers page and still have many questions left to answer.
