3 Things Thursday ... Herb Love




  • The healthiest herb garden I've ever had (amazing what happens when I remember to water it!)
  • Gathering herbs for dinner in my beautiful thrifted 'garden produce' basket
  • Adding freshly picked mint to our breakfast - love any reason to be outside early in the morning (and to grab few minutes on my own before the day starts)

  1. What was for breakfast? Is it a smoothie?

    1. Breakfast was rolled rice cooked in coconut milk, then added all the fruit and herbs and nuts.

  2. Our garden has been much more successful this year thanks to a little bit of love! It's getting hot up here but if I get up early enough it's still nice enough to go for a walk.

    Loves, Jess

    1. Chook poo is what seems to have helped mine, it's amazing how well it has done since I added that. I'll bring some next time. That adds a new dimension to your gift giving post last week though doesn't it!!!

  4. Our herb garden has been doing quite well too. We are (sadly) gearing up for our Fall/Winter season, so I spent some time this weekend drying the last of some of the herbs and freezing pesto.

    1. I agree that the move to winter is sad. I am working on a whole change in pass and focus for that part of the year so we can enjoy what we have at the time (but I still find it hard). Pesto is something I've only tried to freeze once and it didn't seem to go so well. Perhaps I just need more practice as a bit of pesto pasta in the winter months is lovely. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
