  1. I have Rosemary just outside my door. I love to run my hands through it as I enter the house. I have spearmint, thyme and oregano that I plan to cut soon and dry. I love to cut flowers an add sprigs of herbs for the greenery.

  2. What a great idea, Brenda! I've got a brown thumb when it comes to gardening, but I can usually keep an herb alive for a summer. I think I'll plant a few in pots this week!

  3. I have not thought to bring herbs in for their aroma – great idea! And I haven't seen chocolate mint in garden centers around here, but now I'll look.

  4. The only herb I usually plant is basil. Love it for cooking, but the scent is a bit much for me. Lemon balm sounds good. The mint looks nice in your kitchen.

  5. I never would have thought of doing this. I have pineapple sage in my garden right now, and lemon verbena, too! Thanks for the idea;)

  6. What a good idea. I don't have any mint, but I'm off to cut some rosemary and bring it inside. Anything green and living always cheers a place up!

  7. I'm such a dummy. I never thought to bring these wonderfully scented herbs in. Another case of how often we ignore the obvious.

  8. I recently received a bouquet of flowers that had mint sprigs in it… they were perfect! Such a vivid green, and that wonderful smell ~
    Enjoy!!

  9. Good morning! Thank you for the reminder to bring my herbs inside! I have a plethora of mint and chocolate mint and I am going to cut some today!

    How are your shingles? Are you feeling a little better? And your pups?

  10. What a wonderful idea! I have a pretty pineapple mint which has creamy white/green leaves. Maybe I'll do the same. Thanks for your always interesting posts and hope you're feeling much better.

  11. Great idea! Never thought of this idea but it makes a lot of sense. I'd be more likely to put a sprig of mint in my iced tea if I already had it sitting in a vase in the kitchen, and didn't have to go outside to get it. That green vase is so pretty. I like that caddy with the coffee label too. Thanks!

  12. I remember planning chocolate, lemon and peppermint balm at my old house in 1997. It was the first time that I had planned any type of herbs and they smelled so good. Its seems like a life time ago. LOL However, I never remember cutting it and bringing some inside just to smell – my lost. Your blog always lifts my spirits. Thanks Brenda for all your posts.
