Mark your calendar for the San Diego Botanic Gardens Herb Festival, Spring Plant Sale and
Tomatomania® March 17 and 18th.
And while you are there pick up a mint plant; fill a bowl full of water add fresh mint leaves and stems too. No need to heat the water, the mint will release it's wonderful oils and scent into the water in just a few hours. Use the water to freshen your face each morning. I keep a jar of mint water in the refrigerator, on days when I need a pick-me-up I splash this on my face; especially after a long day in the sun gardening. It really works, and as an added bonus people will tell you how good you smell. If you have lemons or oranges on hand add some zest to the water. Heavenly!

I can't wait! It's hard to believe that Spring is just around the corner and that means Tomatoes are not far behind! I've been going through withdrawals for a few weeks now that all of my canned tomatoes have been used. I will plant more to make sure I don't run out this early.
