I love that in a pot for the patio though Few!
VC - if that was supported would it be any better do you think?

I’m definitely losing it!

I assume you’ve got loads of self down linaria (purple toadflax)?
And my oregano isn’t supported it’s pretty tough strong stemmed stuff. Just going out to pick a quick bunch of something because I’ve got a friend coming for “coffee” which probably means wine!

Quick bunch showing how useful the oregano is for foliage!
Also the toadflax - been ripping it out all summer!

I use oregano as a filler. It doesn’t work well when it’s been raining a lot . Heads are to heavy then and droop.

I love the look of it.... and that cat is stunning.
