I will be on the lookout for this ginger mint you speak of-sounds interesting.I'm not much of a tea drinker as I am a coffee drinker but I have decided to start making some for when someone in the family gets a cold.Its alot less expensive than those cough drops and you get fluids in that you...

I love the idea of putting some in with brownies....hehe, my hippy in-laws would love it!

Thank you everyone for all the info...You all are so sweet!!! As far as the extracts I just take some clippings and roll them in a ball and kinda "bruise" the clippings, then I take a couple layers of cheese cloth and tie the ball -I would say about half a cup size-and put it in a quart size...

Went to the nursery on friday and went a little crazy buying a few different mint plants.I make extracts so I thought I would experiment. I got Pineapple Mint, Spearmint, Chocolate Mint and I did get that Pineapple Sage I posted about last week-I can't wait to see how this one tastes in a few...

You all are too funny.....

So cute! I would love to have a couple of them. I could easily talk hubby into it but I just don't have the room for them.

:welcome I was wondering the same thing. I live in Everett in the Madison area. I have some garden boxes and my potato bin that I need to fill up and last year I spent to much for vermiculite.

I have been so lucky that my rat terrier hasn't hurt any of my chickens.My chickens have hurt my rat terrier though.She won't go in the backyard if they are out of their coop.I have six chickens that think they are the boss of the backyard and they let everyone know it too! My Russian Orloff is...

I was walking through the garden center and seeing if there was any good deals going on and I saw this woman "dead-heading" some gerber daisyies and putting them in her bag, her husband told her that was stealing and she said it wasnt because they were just going to throw them away anyway, so...

Very Funny.... I'll have to remember that the next time someone orders a "special batchelorette party cakes and cookies".

I've been pretty lucky so far this year with the young ladies staying out of my garden, but I know they will figure it out soon.And thats when the fence goes up.I dont usually let them out of their coop til late afternoon so by the time they've made the rounds in my backyard its bedtime and...

I used to sell birdhouses and feeders to Emerys Gardens.I havent been there in a few years and I just don't like to travel south because of the traffic..I'm heading out to Smokey Point Plant Farm.Atleast I'll be traveling opposite of the traffic and I can stop by the Co-op in Marysville too.

I will take a look at the crabapples trees.I'm just limited to space.I would have an orchard if I could but I live in the city and there isnt that much room in my yard.I'll be good with two but if I can fit in more I will.Maybe one of the neighbors might want to plant one ??I really doubt it...
