After jetting off for 9 days, it’s a wonder any of these plants survived… we can only assume some garden gnomes were looking out!
These front step planters are loaded (perhaps overly so) with tomatoes, carrots, hot peppers, herbs, and flowers. The only plant that isn’t thriving is our mint – no idea what’s up with that! The rest are sure to provide a delicious source of salad fixings all summer long, especially when served alongside chilled rosé!
Every year, we look forward to the latest release of our favorite vineyards’ rosé – sometimes they’ll hit shops as early as April! Smaller shops tend to have the best hookups, so look for the latest vintage (probably 2021 if you’re looking now) on display at your favorite local shop rather than at one of the big box stores where wines can sit around for a few more years.
J. Mourat Rosée de Jardin ($18) is a lovely rosé of Pinot Noir from the Loire Valley, France. Strawberry jolly rancher on the nose, smooth on the palate with a soft, round finish. Don’t forget to chill your bottle before sipping on the steps!
