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)

  9. 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!!!
