This Week's Garden Haul

It's just the best when flowers bloom together so you can make a cute bouquet. 

This one is made up of a mixture of Anemone, Dusseldorf Pride, and Basil Mint. 

I got the cup from a local potterer at Commercial Drive's Car Free Day.

I braved the torrential down pour, but made it home alive ;)

I put them on my desk right next to my computer. A lovely sight for when I'm writing :)

Alpine Strawberries are blooming and ripening in full force. Ror and TheDapperGentleman are mostly benefitting...

Although... TDG doesn't like peas, so these lovelies are all for me.

Delicious dinner with garden fresh peas. mmMMmm mmMMmm mmMMmm.

Fun Fact: If the flowers in your bouquet aren't fragrant, add some fresh herbs to spice them up. The basil mint in this bouquet is giving it something special. Next time I'm going to try Rosemary.

Basil Mint

Last year I discovered Chocolate Mint, this year I've discovered Basil Mint. It's amazing!

Great for flavouring water, mojitos, gin and tonics...

I cut up some lemons, chocolate mint, and basil mint to freshen my house and have been loving it! Put the mixture in a bowl and let it dry over the next couple of days.

I read somewhere once that cut up lemons in your home are suppose to suck out bad spirits and energy. Not sure if this is true or not, but I believe in magic so I choose to believe this is true too ;)
