Garden Fun with Etsy

What is Etsy? It is an online marketplace that has from A-Z home made items, crafts, DIY items for sale and vendors who sell there wares online. I personally do not have an Etsy shop, but finding unique and personally crafted items is fun. There are also many antique items available.
The Etsy Mission is to "re-imagine commerce in ways that build a more fulfilling and lasting world. Etsy is a mindful, transparent and humane business. They plan and build for the long term and value craftsmanship in all they make. Etsy believes fun should be a part in everything they do. Etsy keeps it real, always."

10 BEST HERBS FOR THE GARDEN

My favorite TOP 10 HERBS for the Garden. I grow these every year and continue to find more and more uses for each one of them. Fresh, dried, baked or blended, herbs create the perfect addition to the backyard garden. Herbs are also great companion plants.

BASIL - CHIVES - CILANTRO - DILL - MINT 
OREGANO - PARSELY - ROSEMARY - SAGE - THYME  

Making Mint Syrup: Also known as Simple Syrup.

2 Cups Granulated Sugar - 2 Tblsp Corn Syrup -

 1 Cup Water - 1 Cup Packed Fresh Mint Leaves

DIRECTIONS: In a small saucepan heat sugar, corn syrup and water to a slow boil until Sugar is dissolved. Add Mint and remove from heat. Stir for 1 minute. Allow syrup to cool back down to room temperature. Pour Mint Syrup into a bowl through a strainer. Store the syrup in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator until ready to use. Syrup will keep for several months.  (makes 2 Cups)

DIY PLANT TAGS

For small and large plant tags use a variety of tile sizes with either a flat or glossy finish. Below photos are small travertine tiles. This is a great idea for labeling plants, re-purposing tiles and a great gift idea for your gardening friends. 
Materials:  Small Tiles, Flat Floral Marble, Wire, Hard as Nails Glue, Sharpee Pen, Acrylic Paint. Use a backing wire that is heavy enough for selected tile size. For larger tiles use a wooden dowel.

Thank you to Roberta for a great gift!
