Herb report from Whitemoss House garden

After months of dry weather, we've just had 48 hours of rain.

The whole garden looks battered, and some of the herbs look very sad, but they'll revive in no time.

One job that badly needs doing now , is cutting down the Sweet Cicely. It has gone to seed, and has got straggly and rusty looking. I know that if I cut it right down now, I'll have a second crop later.

This is sweet cicely in full bloom, back in May, in the Whitemoss herb garden.
