Mint tea and a potager

I've been unplugged for about a week,

because the weather has just been gorgeous.

Spring is here!

I've been outside digging in the dirt every day,

planting my flower beds and

preparing my garden beds.

I'm a bit late on that but,

drought plus wildlilfe plus no fence equals no garden.

So, for the past few weeks we've been working on putting up a fence

to take care of that issue.

I usually like to plant vegetables, herbs and flowers

all together,

like an old fashioned potager garden.

I've been sitting here this

Tea on Tuesday morning,

drinking my mint tea,

in my vintage tea cup

(a tea cup swap gift)

thinking of what I will be planting.

I love different kinds of mint,

and putting a sprig or two in my tea is wonderful.

So mint will surely be in my potager garden this year.

Potager Garden Definition: (pronunciation: puh ta zhay)

a garden that combines both edible

and ornamental plants;

 a vegetable garden that is utilitarian in nature

 but designed with beauty in mind.

I love the idea of a potager garden.

 I will make use of the herbs and flowers

as much as the vegetables.

 

Now I'm thinking of a name for my

enclosed yard/garden.

Photos to come later of the fence

and my 'moon' gate.

 

Savor the Day!
