Pictures from the herb farm
Posted in Everyday Happenings

I'm a little late in getting these posted, but here are a few pictures from my trip to the herb farm. I saw so many pretty herbs and flowers and came back with lots of ideas to use in my own yard. I came home with a few new additions for the gardens too......Spicy Globe Basil, Golden Oregano, Berggarten Sage, Red Rubin Basil (a variety of purple basil that I'll use for flavored vinegar), another lavender, and a dwarf pomegranate.
We also made a stop at another nursery on the way home and I came away with two new plants for my hummingbird/butterfly garden......Indian Pinks and a plant that I never heard of before, Knautia. Both of these will hopefully keep my butterflies and hummers happy.
 One of the formal gardens
 I thought this was a neat idea....peppermint growing inside an old log.
 Some interesting garden art.....this fellow is made from old metal parts.
His head is a metal watering can.
The birds in the background and the sunflower bird feeder next to him
are also made of scrap metal.

I love the peppermint in the log!! Hey, I'll bet you are making plans for the state fair! Guess what...I had plans this year, too! But I've decided not to do it this year after all....I was getting stressed thinking about all the time and work involved....maybe some day in the future...I'll bet if we lived closer, you would get me there for sure!! :) But I did find out all the information online and I think I know how everything works now regarding entering, etc....so I am now educated somewhat!! xo Jeani
