Back porch garden



After several rounds of failed herbs and flowers over the course of the year, our miniature back porch garden is now blooming with sage, spearmint, basil, and lavender. 

The basil has already been put to use on a number of fresh caprese plates, but the fragrant sage is itching to complement a sheet pan of roasted chicken and vegetables.

My visions for the flowering lavender are less clear, but I'm thinking about a lavender honey, a lavender lemonade, and a lavender citrus shortbread. Sweet and savory ideas welcome.
