    Very envious of your redcurrant bush (Have I mentioned you can make them into a tea as well!). Beautiful apple blossoms too…and all the herbs! So green and lush. Dont let me near your garden…I’ve already thought of about 10 different things I could make with just the above. You’d have no garden left.

    Can I also say I have macro envy. My camera, wonderful as it is, just does not do beautiful macro shots like yours.

    Ooh I’m growing herbs for the first time; Chives, rosemary, borage, parsley and applemint – which smells soooo beautiful.

    The idea of fresh herbs intrigues me lol.

    Beautiful vibrants pictures by the way.

    there are an amazing amount of currants this year – so far the bushes have produced masses except for one year when the leaves went mouldy. It is really interesting (well for me anyway!) to compare garden pics from different years on the blog. there’s a lot of variance.

    Macro not quite as good as I would like, difficult to get a really clear crisp pic.

    that sounds a lovely mix Mel :)

    Those herbs look so fresh and beautiful I’m sure I can smell the wild garlic, just be looking at your photo!
    Remind me what kind of camera you use? I love doing macro stuff, too, and have been crouching down beside the flowers that are so welcome in the garden, clicking away happily. It’s been a while!
