Being summer and all, I've been luxuriating in greenery and flowers, so just out my kitchen door, we put really big pots where deer and kids won't stomp them flat in a matter of seconds. Plants like my little deck obviously. My husband says we should drag them in for the winter, which will be a fun thing. I already have a plant on top of my fridge (it's been there for years, I repot it every 2 or 3 years) that has to be trimmed or it takes over and drapes all over things. A couple huge patio pots will just about guarantee that not only will we have unlimited sage, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, feverfew and numerous others at hand...we'll need a machete to get to the oven. You can't see it in the pictures, but there's knitting needles propping up the feathery fennel. (I love knitting in the evenings with the scent of rosemary, basil and mint in the night air. And I have been knitting, I just haven't taken pictures, the flowers were so much fun to play with.)

It's a fact ..the plainest foods sparkle on the tastebuds when a pinch of fresh herbs are added. And I do love chopping up my salsa with a handful of cilantro that's fresher than fresh!
As for the white Lillies, I'd love to know what kind they are, they're lovely and very large blooms on tall plants. And I used to remember what the pink ones mixed with the white lillies were called, they grow more like the canna lillies.
