Enjoying flowers, tea, and herbal delicacies in my terrace herb garden, how delightful

Loving flowers is everyone's nature, but not everyone knows how to grow them, and making flower growing a hobby is even harder.

The spring breeze has blown open the flowers' bright smiling faces. These past few months my little terrace has also changed a lot. On the advice and recommendation of friends, my terrace successfully transformed to follow the herb route, and was featured in Good Housekeeping magazine.

First, here's a magazine photo for everyone to see. Lots of beautiful photos will be updated later.

Since it's a herb terrace, of course herbs are included.

First is catnip (Nepeta cataria), whose leaves have a very pleasant sweet fragrance. The stems are soft, and it looks great planted in a hanging pot. It's a perennial, so it's very cold-hardy. If planted in the ground, it will spread over a large area within two years, blooming with small pale purple flowers that are very brilliant in spring.

Lavender is of course essential. My sweet lavender died, but the French lavender (Lavandula dentata) is very healthy and has now grown quite tall. There's also an English narrow-leaf lavender, but it's too small to appear on camera.

Next are basil and rosemary. The basil has now bloomed with clusters of white flowers, though I haven't had the heart to eat it. The rosemary has been used to bake pastries.

In the strawberry pot is thyme, and in the long trough is still catnip.

A herb terrace of course also can't do without herbal delicacies. On a sunny afternoon, brewing a cup of lavender honey tea and baking a few herbal pastries, enjoying flowers while drinking tea on the terrace, what a delightful thing it is.

Lavender honey tea, lavender cookies, and rosemary muffins.

Please don't mind my boldness in squeezing into your sight; it is my passionate and eager heart

Enjoying flowers and drinking tea, savoring herbal delicacies, how delightful!
