Future Food

Today I bought some plants for the patio. Herbs, tomatoes and squash. I thought with the deadline approaching I should try to have the landscaping looking as lush as possible. I should also try to have herbs large enough to cook with by the party. I splurged on a couple of exotic herbs. I am the most interested in the "Boxwood Basil" [pictures below] It is a tightly compact basil shrub, and pineapple mint [summer cocktails] Then sage, thyme, rosemary and oregano round out the herbs.

I also found pots at the dollar store...they were a dollar.Finally, I found some hanging stakes for my candle jars. A little night romance. Maybe I will switch from a brunch to a dinner party so I can use them.

  1. T - did you ever see Because of Winn-Dixie - the evening garden party was my favorite scene - the lights, the tables, the used bottles hanging from the trees - keep it simple, and lovely. KatieB
