Well, Bonnie and I went on one of our annual herb buying trips to
Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve in Alliance,Ohio. I have been buying herbs from Paul and Melinda Carmichael since their days selling plants out of the back of a box truck at flea markets. They grow great plants and have a very good variety selection considering they have down scaled somewhat since they sold Lily of the Valley Herb Farm a couple of years ago.
I am expecting a box from
Well-Sweep Herb Farm to arrive this week and then the chaos of mixing and matching everything I picked out will begin. I'm also getting some lemony additions from my friend, Carolee Snyder of
Carolee's Herb Farm. I have a bunch of herbal holes to plug and hopefully I will put the right combinations together. When I visualize the space I have at the nursery and then get the plants home, it is just never quite the same space! Always like to have that problem though, herbally speaking! So I hope you have had a great day. We certainly did! Talk to you later.
I so hear that HS, not that I EVER buy lots of herbs lol! Glad you new babies arrived are these the ones you told me about?
ReplyDeleteNo of course not, HS! Always have to buy a few more herbs! This year especially because I lost so many old woody ones! Thanks for stopping by! xo
