Lucky you to have a place to grow them. Mint is a favorite of mine too. I buy the green leavesn when I find it and use it in tea. Hope you are having a great summer. Mine has been filled with grandchildren. Hugs. Barb B.

We used to pick lots of wild berries and chiggers were sure bad. We live in an area where we have fresh fruits almost all season: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, apples.<br />How are you using your berries?lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.com
