About HotGardenMama
My garden passion is herbs and berries. Oddly, flowers and vegetables are not my friends and don't let me get anywhere near a house plant. I started with herbs because I love to cook with fresh herbs and I've always been woo'ed by their medicinal value. (That and they thrive with neglect and given my history with house plants seemed like a safe place to start. I've since found that I also do quite well with berries. ) I'm very excited about adding lingon and huckleberries to my berry patch this year. I've got a very nicely sized stepped garden and take special care to make sure it's not just productive but aesthetically pleasing...my little sanctuary. :-)
I like to harvest my herbs through out the year to create my own tinctures, teas, lotions and herbed oils. I made an herbal lip balm this year that I'm quite proud of with chamomile, lemon balm, lavendar and tinted with a port reduction for a sophesticated scent.
