#3GoodThings
The pudding chomeur (the best!) our friends brought over for dessert last night.
Our bumper crop of mint and anise hyssop. So much tea to look forward to this winter!
Glorious late summer/early fall weather.

Let me convince you to grow anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum). The flowers, which looked nicer last week (and on the plants I just harvested), are bright purple and are favorite of bees. But, IMHO, the leaves are the best part of the plant. Used fresh or dried they add a sweet anise flavor to black tea and they make really great ice cream too (akin to mint).

A single anise hyssop plant against a wooden fence with other plants in the background. The flowers have faded from bright purple to gray - the seeds are on their way.
