Lavender and Mint

I was doing some weedin' the other day, it had rained earlier so the evening was marvelous and I decided to work in the garden a little.... or a lot

My lavender was blooming....


The mint smelled fantastic.....

So I thought why not combine both and make a little bouquet....


Which I brought inside the house....

My kitchen smelled fresh and clean, loved it.



French word of today:
Mint = Menthe (mahnt)

    What I would give to be able to grow lavender! It is just too hot and humid down here. Your bouquet is lovely!

    I can almost smell it now! I adore lavender, and I just picked a bouquet of my Spanish lavender today. I never would have thought of combining it with mint, thanks for the great idea!

    Lovely combo! I have a flower bed planted with mint, roses, and lavender--the smell is heavenly! I just have to keep an eye on the mint and pray it dosen't kill off the lavendar! I think the roses can hold their own!

    Now Following!!!
