Herb Pruning

Where did all the rain go? We had the best spring ever! It rained so much, I really never had to water our flower & herb gardens. However, now it’s dry and hot out there!

The hour before it gets dark is not quite as hot…so, I ventured out to prune the herbs. (and any plants that were out-of-control)

When I have all the extra clippings…I usually bring them inside to make little bouquets. This time, I made one big centerpiece.

This one includes, silver mound, pineapple sage, chives, sage, and dusty miller. You may be able to tell, but I do adore the silvery tone plants :)

I arranged the clippings in a large jar a placed it into this vintage bucket. (the bucket is for sale HERE in our ONLINE SHOP)

Of course, my sweet Jovi B had to be a photo bomber :)

And that’s how I use my clippings from pruning the garden :) How about you?

Do you make bouquets out of left-over clippings too?

  2. I never like to trim my herbs because I feel like they look like they went to the salon and got a bad haircut! So I let them grow and they look wild. I do like your bucket! The silvery herbs are my favorite too.
