The arrival of the Normans in the later half of the eleventh century substantially modified The Anglo-Saxon ways of living. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. However, there was no time for home life, domesticated architecture, and decoration until the Normans had conquered the whole region. Castles were more basic designs and often built on blustery hills, where their tenants devoted both time and space to exercising offense and defense, while monasteries were considerable stone buildings, mostly positioned in the widest, most fertile hollows. The sterile fortresses did not provide for the peaceful avocation of gardening. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is portrayed in Berkeley Castle, which is most likely the most unscathed illustration we have. The keep is said to date from William the Conqueror's time period. As a technique of deterring assailants from tunneling underneath the walls, an immense terrace surrounds the building. One of these terraces, a charming bowling green, is covered grass and flanked by an aged yew hedge cut into the figure of crude battlements.

Since perennial natural herbs do not die easily or need replanting every end of the year, they are a practical (and fun) addition to your garden. Your flavor and texture preferences in cooking with herbs are key considerations in deciding which herbs to grow. Think about the meals you want when picking out which herbs to plant in your garden. For instance, if you cook a lot of Italian food you may want to grow basil and oregano. If you like Latin food, select cilantro. You must decide where your herb garden will be planted in order to determine which herbs will mature best. It may be easier to plant right into the earth if you live in a place that has warmer winters and cooler summers. This makes your back yard look striking without the problem of making or buying planters. Plants often perish or become dormant because of direct exposure to the extreme weather. As a result, many people have preferred for planters because they are versatile and practical.
