Well, we’re a few days past Thanksgiving…and on towards the Dec holidays (we celebrate Hannukah more than xmas) but my mind is drifting towards spring planting especially since I’m NOT a winter kind of gal …. I’m one of those ole gals that like to sit in the sun, feel the heat go into my bones and enjoy the sun. So winter and snow doesn’t do much for me.

Anyway, as I drift into spring planting dreams…I’m trying to decide on which new herbs I would like to plant this year. This fall I branched out a bit - planted a bed of garlic…hoping so much that it takes and I enjoy a good harvest - although I just read on someone elses’ blog that they planted 1200 cloves!!! I think I planted around 50 LOL…so we’ll see how much I get - I love garlic in most everything - and her idea of making ground garlic was very interesting…going to try it if I get enough - if not, well, I’ll just plant some more!

Other things on my wish list are more types of oregano, a few more rosemary plants and a LOT more lavender plants. Love my lavender .. dried quite a bunch this year and look forward to more in the spring.

I’m also a mint lover - so will gather some more kinds- right now I have pineapple, chocolate, regular, lemon and apple - I love making tea out of fresh leaves. Also tried making tea out of lemon verbana, taragon (love that one - takes like licorice!) and yarrow - as well as red clover blossoms - all great in their unique ways. Have lots in my freezer as we speak.

so what’s in your spring dreaming??
