I don’t know why I waited so long to do container herbs…

These pots…on the front porch…so pretty and they make such a huge difference in how the front porch feels.

I added peppermint and spearmint this weekend. Pay attention to that spearmint!

Oy-vay!!! Crushed spearmint…and ice cubes!!!…in my wine.

I know that if I was a food stylist, I would have plucked a beautiful sprig of spearmint for this photo, but the truth is, that any herb…including spearmint…”leaks” its best flavor when it is crushed.

I.E. – crushed spearmint leaves, a few ice cubes, some Chardonnay = summertime bliss….to me!

And inside??? A sprig of basil, several sprigs of lavendar, a crackle vase from my Grandma Ruthie = heaven on my desk.

The sight, the smell, the taste….why did I wait so long???
