The Mint is In

Today we went up to Tryon Palace to tour the gardens once more. I admit my main objective was to surreptitiously procure more of their chocolate mint. I succeeded in my mission, and have four sprigs of the most chocaliscious chocolate mint plants cooling their heels in a glass of water in my room, along with sprigs of spearmint, peppermint, and apple mint. Most of them already have roots, so after a night in the water, I'm going to plant them in my window planter and hope for the best. I also bought some lavender, and I'll be repotting that soon. The summer gardens at Tryon Palace were almost fully in bloom, and I have over one-hundred pictures of photographic proof. It was quite beautiful, and the temperature was perfect. I'll get the pictures up soon.
