Mint Garden, Part 2 - The Mint Steps

So, the mint garden has been taking shape, in a hap-hazard bit here, bit there sort of way. As it's expanded a plan has started to form and being on a bank, it will needs some steps.


The plan is to build some steps down the gap between the Mint and the Red Currant and then a path longways along the bank with mint on both sides, above and below. I've been watching the neighbour preparing the area for his new cow shed and eyeing up some of the more step like stones.

A couple of weeks back, the real farmer was up there with his digger and I had the oppurtunity to fecth a couple of fine specimens. FBS got his first ride in a tractor, I was looking after him and life must go on, projects must continue!


So, two fine steps, I'll need a good few more, and the David brown to help put them in place (so they'll stay where they are until the Potatoes are havested). The real farmers going to start blasting rock soon, hopefully a few more like these will turn up.
