I managed to save a supermarket basil almost half a year ago and today I noticed it bears a single tiny flower. The flower apparently makes the leaves bitter as the plant focuses on its next phase, but I am tempted to leave it be to see if it reseeds.

This should be cobblestone and not a mess of weeds, but just look at that happy little bee collecting pollen! Sometimes failing feels alright!

Bumblebees are some of the most important pollinators in Ireland and lavender seems to be the best way of attracting them to your garden. This bush is full of them at all times. 🐝🪻

Hoping to build a small biodiversity haven with native plants, including medicinal and edible herbs.
I know nothing about gardening, so this is a beginner's journey that will probably be marred with mishaps and failure.
This is my verbena. 💜🪻
