It is definitely a very pretty cottage-garden style planting scheme. <br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about the garden failures; I remember them well! For me it was root vegetables (carrots and beetroot, every time!) as we thankfully don't have the sort of winters that you get over there. Not having a garden where we live now has made me long to find somewhere with a plot of land in which to grow things. I deeply miss that sense of calm and connectedness that I used to feel when I was there. <br /><br />Re: the biting insects - have you tried incense? If you want to sit out, try lighting lots of incense sticks (pick something which smells really nice, like Nag Champa) in a large circle around you. It isn't perfect but it helps considerably. Thankfully, unlike last year, we've had very few midges. It has been a blessed relief!<br /><br />Take care :)<br /><br />Tash from vintagepretty.orgVintagePrettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417348122069803064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677036653941667811.post-79989064004521075832013-07-15T09:10:07.369-03:002013-07-15T09:10:07.369-03:00So pretty... and VERY inspiring!! :o) We're be...So pretty... and VERY inspiring!! :o) We're been in the garden a lot these day--it's been lovely weather just now.
