Determined Woman

Yesterday I stopped out at a nursery fairly close to where I live but I hadn't ever been to it before. What a gold mine for me....or maybe for them since I will spend way too much there ;)

They have herbs galore, many of which are hard to find at other nursery's around here. I almost bought some orange mint....anyone grow this?

On my list was summer savory (to plant with my pole beans), fennel and french tarragon. On top of this, I picked up a horseradish plant, pennyroyale, elecampane and tea tree ... oh yes, and some red geraniums :) I am becoming more fascinated with herbs and all their uses other than culinary. My herb garden is quickly outgrowing itself!

I had to leave this nursery yesterday before I broke the bank...and because I ran out of room in the stroller to put things! My next step would have been to 'ask' the baby to 'hold' some plants ;)

They laughed at me at the register and as I was walking to the car (now holding a box full of my goods & pushing the stroller) and cute, lil' old lady said to me "Nothing like a determined woman!" Boy did she hit the nail on the head! Now please excuse me, I am out to plant all my new herbs!!
