And this weekend is your last chance to attend an open day this year. Jekka will be giving tours of the herb farm at 10.30am and 2.30pm and running a workshop on ’How to maintain your herbs over winter’. With 650+ varieties of herbs in stock you’re sure to come away with a plant or two … or several as Jekka’s holding a great big end of season plant sale too.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6319" title="nipitinthebud_7-4-11 - lavender mint in pot 4B" src="http://nipitinthebud.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/7-4-11-lavender-mint-in-pot-4b.jpg?w=450&h=337" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></p> <p>I came away with Chocolate Mint, Lavender Mint and Loveage plants which thrived in the kitchen having had such a nurturing start (Jekka’s nursery plants are all created from cuttings). My herbs soon outgrew their pots in the yard as well and were then re-homed at the allotment. This is the lavender mint just 7 weeks after our vist (planted in black bin sunk in the ground).<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6320" title="24-6-11 - lavender mint 4B" src="http://nipitinthebud.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/24-6-11-lavender-mint-4b.jpg?w=450&h=364" alt="" width="450" height="364" /></p> <p>?</p> <br />Filed under: A-Z challenge, away from the plot <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/nipitinthebud.wordpress.com/5673/" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/nipitinthebud.wordpress.com/5673/" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/facebook/nipitinthebud.wordpress.com/5673/" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/twitter/nipitinthebud.wordpress.com/5673/" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/nipitinthebud.wordpress.com/5673/" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/nipitinthebud.wordpress.com/5673/" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/nipitinthebud.wordpress.com/5673/" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nipitinthebud.wordpress.com&blog=8362095&post=5673&subd=nipitinthebud&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" />
