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
- [Simone] Okay [Jamila] In the wintertime,
we're gonna mulch all the beds

We had a great tea party and the family was so inspired

00:00:04.171 --> 00:00:05.541

that we decided to do a tea garden

00:00:05.672 --> 00:00:08.572

We're gonna add some lemongrass, got some chamomile,

00:00:08.708 --> 00:00:09.608

some lemon verbena,

00:00:09.742 --> 00:00:12.112

obviously the sorrel that we started

00:00:12.244 --> 00:00:15.184

And I know we wanted to plant the okra and hibiscus together

00:00:15.314 --> 00:00:17.354

just because they are in the same family

00:00:17.483 --> 00:00:18.723

and they're great for the hummingbirds

00:00:18.851 --> 00:00:20.751

We're definitely planting the okra for Paul

00:00:20.887 --> 00:00:22.001

because that was his special request,

00:00:22.221 --> 00:00:24.191

and he loves them also because of the hummingbirds

00:00:24.324 --> 00:00:27.434

They really love to get the nectar out of the flowers

00:00:27.561 --> 00:00:30.361

The hibiscus should be ready in time

00:00:30.496 --> 00:00:33.566

for a nice little holiday drink around Christmastime

00:00:33.699 --> 00:00:36.969

That's about how long it takes before you can start harvesting from it

00:00:37.102 --> 00:00:41.372

Lemon verbena is lemon-scented so you can bruise the leaf and smell them

00:00:41.841 --> 00:00:43.341

Oh, yeah

00:00:43.476 --> 00:00:46.546

Yeah, that's really... It's like strong, strong lemon scent. Right, exactly

00:00:48.681 --> 00:00:52.002

00:00:52.185 --> 00:00:54.001
