Did you know Mike and Peggy snuck away to The Keys for a quick 40th wedding anniversary this year? It was right in the middle of harvest time, but it was important to celebrate such a milestone. They may have even taken a quick trip with their grandson to visit a certain mouse at his magical castle in Florida too... And yes, lavender is beautiful, but nothing can beat a beach and a sunset.
Its obvious that here at The Lavender Apple Farm that we think that lavender is the most gorgeous herb invented. Its' beautiful purple buds, gorgeous round plants, relaxing scent, its just everything. Which is why I was so surprised the other day when Peggy plucked something else from her garden that i was absolutely smitten with.
Isn't this the stuff that Thumber gets in trouble for only eating the blossoms off of in Bambi?
Well I had no idea chives were this amazingly beautiful, and I thought we should spread the word. All of our herb gardens would be beautified by this zesty little green and purple plant. I know I'm going out to plant some in my garden right now.
