Stupid things I did in the garden today

I accidentally almost ripped out a lavander that was already stressed because it hadn't been watered for ages. I trod on another lavander and snapped the biggest stem. And I put weeds that had gone to seed in the compost.

On a brighter note, the some of the lace flower seeds have germinated and the blue part of the garden is coming along. I added a borage officianalis. I sowed salvia 'Cottage Blue' seeds, cosmos and Italian parsley. The salvia and cosmos will look gorgeous together. I sowed most of the seeds in trays, but sprinkled some around the new climbing iceberg, because I have to water that every day for six weeks, so the cosmos seeds will be kept damp enough to germinate. This is assuming I remember/can be bothered watering the Iceberg every day. Big assumption.

 The lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso' was not the best choice for a hedge lavander, because it is quite small and since I think I killed two of them today, I might move the rest and replace them with a larger lavander or even something entirely different.
