The last thing I concocted using elements from the garden recently was some thyme infused honey. I used the quick infusion method (with heat) and to me the end result tastes the way the best roses smell. I always enjoy things more when they are home grownTexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-83517827140449657332015-12-31T15:08:38.796-08:002015-12-31T15:08:38.796-08:00What a beautiful tree!
