Interior Design For Kitchen

This summer has been one of the hottest on record here on eastern Long Island.  We hardly had much rain.  After a while it did not matter if I watered the garden or not, everything was just so dry this year.  Between the weather and my neglectful attention,  I was amazed that my kitchen herb garden survived at all.  It was really overgrown and I have to be honest I could not keep on top of it this year.

I could have made a flower arrangement from my basil tops

while doing a yard clean up today in preparation for a possible hurricane/tropical storm, I took a break to get out of the heat of the sweltering sun.  Since there is something wrong with me and I have that thing called "I cant sit still disease" I figured I would make a wreath out of some clippings that I cut out of my badly overgrown herb garden.

I used fishing line and a cardboard circle as my wreath form

I made about a dozen little 6" bundles of herbs and tied them onto the form - layering them as I went along

I used rosemary, lavender, basil, oregano and sage and mixed then up

my out of control oregano was actually flowering also, which actually added a nice little touch to the wreath
