A dear friend of mine said recently, "I am on pinterest, but I don't know how to use it."  I have used pinterest for several years, and here is how to get started. (my way!)

My favourite plant

Thai Basil is my special favourite in the garden. 





This wonderful plant flowers all summer and all winter, bringing the bees for its pollen. that is why it is my special fav!  I just grow it in a pot, and keep cutting back 1/2 a plant at a time, that way it does not get too woody, but there is always basil and flowers to be had.  If you are looking for herbs to grow, then this is my first recommendation.  Easy to grow (it has to be in my garden) and very forgiving.  Plant some now.
