cat- (or fox)- astrophe

I came home from work yesterday and found a HUGE hole in my herb garden. Lots of pots over turned and emptied. I'm taking it personally that some local vermin is attacking my plants. Here's the sad evidence:

blooming

The weather has been good for the garden lately. Today it was dry enough to cut for the first time in... months. We worked hard for a few hours this morning and I have to say, it all looks pretty good. I've lots of new picture and flowers blooming.
Also still so many apricots, and blackcurrants growing on the hedge.
Chives... not doing so well yet.

Sage I think...

Mint - very healthy!





Brambles - more to come!

Blackberries.

Pretty blue and red flowers. I hope they last and more come!
