Green Pumpkins in July

I'm so excited about our Pumpkin patch that I'm already taking pictures :)
Even though it's been a VERY wet summer and I've lost some pumpkins due to rot, there's still a bunch of "survivors" that are sooo cute!







And here's a teeny-weeny Watermelon.

Varieties of Echinacea

I Love growing Echinacea! Probably because I have such respect for the medicinal properties of Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea. At home if there's any sign of a cold or sore throat then out comes the Echinacea bottle!

Here's a new Echinacea we grew this year called "Green Jewel" It stays green all season and compliments the other plant colors~


Another new Echinacea for us is the "Pink Double Delight" LOVE IT!!



This one Looks Fantastic at the corner of the barn~ Love how the Yarrow & Pineapple Mint look next to it too~

Harvest of Orange Mint

The first harvest of Orange Mint was brought in today~ My Favorite!

Brown Sugar Body Scrub

NEW!
I just finished creating these Brown Sugar Scrubs & I LOVE them!
The fractionated coconut oil makes your skin smooth without feeling greasy~ It also doesn't go rancid like a lot of vegetable oils do. I've also added a subtle scent of Amber & Vanilla. A great exfoliating blend that is reasonable priced too :)
