Porch Garden

I finally got around to planting our garden yesterday. The veggies and herbs will be here soon. I cannot wait to have a HUGE garden one day but Sam and I make the most of our little porch garden.

Here is the before picture... 

  Here is my little helper! 

And the completed garden! I know it's small but hey there are only 3 of us and Triton doesn't really like veggies or herbs! 

• Tomato's
• Sweet Banana Peppers
• Mint
• Cayenne Peppers
• Jalapeno Peppers
• Sweet Basil
• Thyme
• Cilantro
• Rosemary

And with our MINT we will definitely be making some Mojitos this summer! Here is a great "LOW-CAL" recipe. 

Ingredients:

1.5 oz. Bacardi Rum

12 fresh mint leaves

1/2 lime; squeezed

7 ox sprite zero or club soda

2 tbsp. Splenda

Directions:

In a cold tall glass, muddle the mint, Splenda and lime juice. Add crushed ice. Add in the Rum and soda. Stir well. Garnish with lime wedges and a few sprigs of mint. Enjoy!
