We had a great tea party
and the family was so inspired that we decided to do
a tea garden We're gonna add some
lemongrass, got some chamomile, some lemon verbena, obviously the sorrel
that we started And I know we wanted to plant
the okra and hibiscus together just because
they are in the same family and they're great
for the hummingbirds We're definitely planting
the okra for Paul because that was
his special request, and he loves them also
because of the hummingbirds They really love to get
the nectar out of the flowers The hibiscus
should be ready in time for a nice little holiday
drink around Christmastime That's about how long it takes
before you can start harvesting from it Lemon verbena is lemon-scented so
you can bruise the leaf and smell them Oh, yeah Yeah, that's really... It's like strong,
strong lemon scent. Right, exactly So it's more lemony,
whereas lemongrass is, like, more lemon and kind
of herby, herbaceous a little bit You can use the leaves
and the flowers - of the lemon verbena

we're gonna mulch all the beds
