Surprisingly the strawberries seemed to cope well with their blanket of snow!
The mint started off as a small pot from the supermarket, but took over the herb patch (it broke through the pot that was meant to contain the roots!), so this is a piece cut from that, and replanted into what is hopefully a sturdier pot!

Certainly my herb patch never looks particularly startling (at least not at this time of year), but as long as the herbs grow as they should do, then it’s all good 🙂

The mole, I’ve not seen before, but very glad to meet him. Mint is such a spreading wonder, isn’t it? I’ve had the same mob in the same pot for several years now, just feeding it & trimming it, not daring to let it into the garden. Looks like things are coming along in your allotment, despite the weather.

I’m glad it’s not just our herb patch that looks a bit raggedy. I think it is probably just the nature of herbs, isn’t it?
