Summer in the Garden: Henbane

28 Jul

Some garden impressions from this summer… I love my wicked green ‘dragon pit’ of Foxgloves, Henbane and Monkshood growing tall and into all directions. Black Henbane has become really large and is starting to look like a hydra with four necks… Vervain and Wormwood too have grown tall and bushy. Though they are still nothing in compare those Fennel giants! These are actually just common fennel plants (Foeniculum vulgare) sown 2 years ago. But a thick layer of garden compost is working magic on all my green this year.
