Tea bench

16 February 2017

I rather feel that the importance of tea to horticulture has been insufficiently acknowledged.  I like to have a bench wherever we have garden beds, so as to make it easy to sit with a cup of tea and watch things grow.  So I have started work on this one, around one of the olive trunks, in what has suddenly become a carpet of wildflowers: iris, anenomes, daisies ...

 Rickety bench, under construction

 View from the bench

 Our spindly mimosa tree has survived its first season, and is flowering jubilantly


And this is a large asphodel which has planted itself and is putting out a monster bud.
