Plant herbs you can use in drinks, shakes, and recipes! Mint is great for lemonade or smoothies, and basil is super on garlic bread, or in pasta...Aliki2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/15763865834765963343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-21567910933793892062011-01-24T20:59:41.456-06:002011-01-24T20:59:41.456-06:00Those are great ideas!

I know what you mean about the cold, I love the sparkly snow, but the bitter cold I could do without. <br /><br />I also want to include the girls more and in the last year or so I have been trying much harder. They help with setting the table, making salad, carrying things to the table, and things like that. I always underestimate what they can do or I just want to do it myself because it is easier. What surprised me though, was once they learned they are really helpful.<br /><br />I love having a small garden and it is small. Even having just a few herbs, carrots and cucumbers makes me feel good. In our garden though the squirrels get most of the veggies!<br /><br />Stay warm. It is fun to think about spring and make some plans.Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100043209000589029noreply@blogger.com
