Bouquet from my garden

Something beautiful from the garden - bolted oregano and mint.

I can't really take credit for this, I saw the exact same shot on a blog and thought, "I can do that!"

Mint Syrup

I saw this recipe for a mint syrup on a blog I read, make grow gather, and thought IMBY members might put it to good use! It looks very easy, just pound the mint with sugar and lemon juice and pour boling water over the mixture.

The blogger says the recipe is adapted from The River Cottage Preserves Handbook by Pam Corbin.
