I am so excited :)

I was at the Feed Store with my husband this morning and while he was checking out tools, I was checking out plants.

I found:

~Chocolate Mint (In Vanilla ice cream. Yum!)
~Tangerine Sage (This smells WONDERFUL! I am thinking it would make a great tea)

I can't wait to plant them and was even more excited when the tag said that they were both perennials :)

Just had to share :)

Good for you,Sharon. I just bought the chocolate mint about a month or so back but never have seen the tangerine sage, I bet it's wonderful. You'll have to let us know. Do you have an herb garden or do you keep them in pots? I kind of have both going on. I was disappointed this year because I did not find any pineapple mint to try. I saw bunches last year, I should have grabbed it then.

I grow the choco-mint here at the farm. it IS good in ice cream or homemade chocolate sauce.

Never heard of the tangerine... sounds awesome

I'd love some tangerine sage! I have the pineapple sage, too, and it's soooo good in sweet tea!

Thanks Ladies :)

Abigail, I sort of have an herb garden :) Some of my plants died (not sure why) so I am starting to replace them.
Dawn, thanks for the tip :)

I have had the Pineapple Sage before and loved it. When I saw the Tangerine I just had to get it :)

Now I need to find Apple Mint :)
