mom always said to plant mint in a pot

thank goodness, it's crazy

but i am only growing it for mojitos :)

mint is so expensive

and if you only want a bit every now and then

this is perfect!

sage, basil, lavendar, sweet peppers
my early girl tomatoes :) they're almost ready!
this is a baby tomato

isn't it the cutest thing you ever did see?

more tomatoes... i think these are like

cherry/grape toms

sweet peppers

they kinda look like okra

it smells sooooo good

i saw a recipe for some kinda lavendar lemonade or something...

sounds weird but good?!?!?!?

i just grew this to grow it

what do you use it for?

my new shoes!!!!

since i worked a million extra shifts

cam said i could keep 15% of the dinero

so i bought these for a treat!
