Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great week.
One of my favourite things about this time of year
is the ability to grow fresh herbs. I don’t know what it is about the
smell of fresh herbs that sends me into a culinary frenzy.
is the ability to grow fresh herbs. I don’t know what it is about the
smell of fresh herbs that sends me into a culinary frenzy.
As a young child, I remember my Grandmother asking my
brother and I to go to her garden and pick some fresh mint,
cilantro or other herbs that she would let us toss into her cooking.
But I specifically remember picking mint and dipping
it into the sugar bowl while no one was looking.
In my young mind, it was a brilliant way to make ‘gum’.

Every year as we venture into the garden centre
to buy herbs and other plants, the smell of mint takes
me right back into my Grandmother’s garden.

And every year, the kiddies and I pick little leaves off the plants
and rub them between our finger tips to guess their scent.
This year, we discovered a new herb; well, new to us anyway. The curry plant.
I was fascinated by its beautiful appearance and strong scent.
As we played the ‘guess that herb game’, our middle son said
‘it smells like deviled eggs’. He was partially right as I do add a pinch of
curry powder to our deviled eggs per hubby’s late Nana’s recipe.

The wooden spoons as herb markers are a twist on the
traditional embossed silver spoon. I stamped them with permanent
marker ink by simply rubbing the tip of the marker over the stamp.
Speaking of permanent marker, this is how I marked them
last year. Is this not the easiest way to mark your plants?
I can’t wait to start making delicious salads using my fresh herbs.
Have a beautiful day!

Those are just darling. I am pinning:)
can you share your source for the wooden spoons and show a pic of your “marker & ink”? i’ve been wanting to make some of these and would love to know more how to do it.
thanks!
So sweet! My mint is doing great but somehow i killed my basil already…fail 🙂
LOVE your markers! The smell of mint always takes me back to my grandma too… she has a row of it growing alongside the back patio. I’ve been cooking with our herbs all week… yum!
Adorable. Could you please let us know where to order the spoons and also what marker you used. Thanks so much.
This are darling! Can you share where you got the spoons from?~~Angela
This is my first visit to the Craftberry Bush…coming over from Stone Gable’s party… I love the name of your blog…so creative! The wooden spoon stakes for your herbs are also very creative. So, naturally, I had to become a follower….via GCF and invite you to visit my blog in return.

Where can I get those wonderful little wooden spoons?
Hi Cindy and all who inquired….the spoons were purchased from Etsy…here is the link…xohttp://www.etsy.com/listing/151788627/100-natural-wood-small-spoon-perfect-for?ref=sr_gallery_3&sref=sr_eb68aadd75caebfcf46c963a89ba10b16813eeaf54a08750ce684792aa998763_1369878139_14629563_spoon&ga_search_query=wooden+spoons&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=CA&ga_search_type=all
It is rather interesting for me to read this article. Thanks for it. I like such themes and anything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more

A modern take on the classic embossed silver spoon is the use of wooden spoons as herb markers.
