The colours of life tend to fade with time, don't they? That's when I get out my paint brush, and I think you do too...

Re: I like the idea of mint - I think I'll add some to the big tub of flowers
Yes Pat I grew a lot once for a firm who needed it for an occasion yearly. I found out afterwards no one else wanted it in big quantities. It still occasionally peeps up in different places but I like the lemon mint scent for some reason. It was planted by an old lady and I have part of her old garden so it is rather nostalgic in a way. Not so the glass siphon bottles that her son smashed and buried.

Re:RPresta
Yes it sort of puts one off grapes when one noticed that they were boxed in April. I expect you can just tug them off the vines. Do you know RP, writing answers to comments is quite tiring and one does not know if they are even read. When I retire I shall let Chumpet answer everything, he is a bit too cheeky at present.

Re:Kabu
I know I used to grow mint for the Henley regatta . They liked a sprig in some kind of drink. Not if they had known where on supplier gathered it from.

Re: FS
Well the apples are so dry along now, grapes are a habit I guess. I like to well wash them though.

I love the scent of sweet peas, one of my grandmother's favorites that grew on her back yard fence every summer. I haven't had luck with growing them here, yet. Those red ones look great!
Frozen grapes are like a little bite of sherbet--nice when the weather turns hot!

It has been a good while since I have had any grapes. Ever since I moved into my house back in July 2010, I fell out of the habit of eating them...Things always seem to find a way to change or not be the way we expected them to be.

I love mint and some of the flowers here have a natural mint odour to them that draws the bumble bees and hummingbirds.

Beautiful flower. Nostalgic and wistful poem, but so pretty. Lots of work in the garden. I do think that's enough of the grapes now!

out front. I'd planted a sprouted sweet potato hoping for a swingy vine, but squirrel had other ideas - and I found the mutilated veggie, nary a sprout to its name - tossed into the middle of the front yard for the sugar ants to swarm... I know squirrels detest the scent of mint and will avoid wherever it grows, but it's a warrior plant that will take over the world if ignored. Maybe there will be julep to sip on a summer afternoon.
