We used to have great bushes of lavender but we had to pull it all out at the start of the year as it had become very woody and overgrown…we gained another quarter of garden by removing it ;-). We did get some new lavender which is potted rather than

A nice black and white graphic macro and pattern shot of a young sunflower in our garden.
Yesterday’s image was of some grasses (you can see then in the image below) that Debbie had pulled up from the garden and thrown away. This shot is of some of the flowers and weeds she had extracted and dead headed and thrown into the same spot. Getting in close
