The chamomile patch was really nice in the beginning, but then the whole thing kept collapsing sideways as the plants got taller, so it was time for a change. Initially I quite fancied a pond, but then I decided to make a bog garden. It's all bog round this neck of the woods(and woods too), so I thought that if a bog garden was made, things might move in fairly quickly. Behind the bog garden, I planted french and english lavender. In it, I planted cotton grass, snake grass and a couple of things that got eaten immediately and I can't remember what they were called. The frogs moved in before too long, and the lavender attracted loads of bees and butterflies. A birdbath and a hanging bird table brought lots of different types of bird; sparrows, blue tits, great tits, coal tits, siskins, greenfinches, chaffinches and my favourite, goldfinches.
