The 6th bed of the 8 laid out last week is to be home to herbs and perennial vegetables. This has so far been planted up with herbs bought from garden centres, which take up a tiny proportion of the bed. We are hoping to grow a lot of perennial vegetables, but these are not ready yet so the herbs have gone in and the rest of the bed has been put down to a green manure - Phacelia. This can be dug in in as little as a month if we need the space, if not it has lovely purple flowers that are loved by bees. Just be careful not to let the plant self seed as it will be hard to get rid of.
Parsley and chives
