Several people have had questions about my fruit and herb gardens so I will try to post a few
short  answers today.
We grow raspberries, blueberries,  and blackberries.  We never do well with blueberries, but we collect over a gallon a day of blackberries for a month to six weeks. That's a lot of berries!

 I have around thirty-five to forty different types of herbs, including four types of mint--chocolate, mountain, pepperment, and apple. Here's a row I have growing near our house.  If you are looking for an easy herb to grow, this is it. You just can't kill this stuff.

I also grow herbs in pots. This is great for invasive herbs (like mint!), cooking herbs, or herbs that won't survive in our climate in the winter.  Here's some pots of mint, lemon verbena, and apple scented pelargonium.

Finally, I won the Mother's Day contest from School in R Home. !  I recieved these lovely gifts today-- a journal, a Cooking with Kids CD,  and a God's Little Devotional Book for Mom's.  Thanks School in R Home!

 Join our sweet host, Mary  for more show and tells.  Also, my son, "Ash", is hosting his first show and tell. If you have a chance, click over to his blog and leave him a comment.  I am trying to encourage his writing skills, and he is disappointed because he doesn't get many comments.
