It is easy as braiding hair.

One of the many perfect beautiful herbal vinegars made today. (We remind you --- this will be decanted and filtered later. Those pretty flowers will not make it through the process.)

Soup wreath, herbal vinegar and herbal swag ready for the holidays.

Herbal Gifts Workshop Today

Cindy Meredith of The Herb Cottage will be here today to teach our class in the Hacienda. Create your own herbal vinegar, soup wreath and herbal swag using fresh herbs. These are all great ways to add fresh flavor to your own home cooking and are great gifts for the holidays. Take your knowledge and spread the wealth.

Herbs in the Home (aka Herb Affair)

After the Comal County Master Gardeners were done with their set-up I peeked inside to get you a preview of Saturday's event - 10 am to 3 pm in the Hacienda.

Samples of herb flavored foods will be here.

Ideas for grilling with herbs.

Make your own bath salts with herbs.

Flavored vinegars on display.

This is just a bit of what is the presentations set for Saturday.
FREE to the public. 10 am - 3 pm

Welcome to my new follower from England. Hope some of the items I cover will be of help to you in your new garden. Central Texas environment may be the opposite extreme.

Another murky day at the park

The skies are very overcast again this morning but the roses are still showing very nicely.

"New Dawn" in full bloom all the fence between the nursery and the grounds of the Hacienda.


A view of "Albertine" on the arbor above our herb area. "Dortmund" is the climber you see to the right.

Herbs!

The hoop houses are gone and fresh new herbs are arriving ....
