After almost 30 years my Chamomile Lawn takes shape

Chamomile Lawn

Back when I bought my first house in Midsomer Norton in 1979 I had plans for a chamomile lawn in place of the scrappy grass fronting on to the Fosse Way. This was before the novel of the same name that was published in 1984 and has no bearing on this!

I spotted a tray full of the Treneague variety which doesn’t flower and is reckoned to be the best for this and, using guestimates of sizes, reckoning on getting about 4 of 5 sprigs from each pot, I bought the tray of 18 plants. I spaced them as described at around 5″-6″ spacing and it was just about right for the small area in front of the bench. I’m not sure how long they will take to fill out but I’ll wait.
