The Nojito Here is a non-alcoholic recipe from recipezaar.com:
MARGARITA MINT Mentha ‘Margarita’ Zone 5-9 Here’s to you! A big bold lime-scented mint for your next margarita. This hybrid is a beauty, with “lots of physical definition” as breeder Jim Westerfield puts it. And so it does, with perfectly shaped, groovy leaves, and a hint of dark bronze at the tips at times. This mint means fun. Does not spread by underground rhizomes like most mints, but it still gets around by above ground runners.
SPEARMINT Mentha spicata Zone 4-9 Best cooking mint. Excellent with carrots, peas and potatoes, and for making mint sauces for roast lamb. Thanks to Richters Herbs Goodwood Ontario L0C 1A0
MOJITO MINT Mentha x villosa Zone 5-9 Cuba’s famed mojito cocktail, once a daily favourite of Ernest Hemingway, has enjoyed a meteoric resurgence in popularity ever since James Bond drank one in the movie Die Another Day. The mojito, made with rum, sugar, lime juice and Cuba’s unique mojito mint, is now an essential staple of cocktail lounges everywhere. While recipes call for any available variety of spearmint, the real mojito can only be made with the true mojito mint. Its scent and flavour are agreeably mild and warm. In a perhaps typically Cuban understated way its warm embrace lingers until you realize you want more. Salud!
crushed ice 8 mint leaves 3 ounces lime juice 1-1/2 ounces sugar syrup 2 ounces club soda garnish with mint Fill a pint glass 1/3 full with ice, add mint leaves, lime juice and sugar syrup. Lightly mash the leaves in the liquid using a blunt instrument, taking care not to tear the leaves. Fill the glass with more ice, add club soda, and garnish with mint.
The Mojito base: 1 cup sugar 1 cup fresh lime juice a bunch of mojito mint 1 bottle (750 ml) 3-year-old rum Beat the sugar, lime juice and mojito mint with the stems until you get a greenish liquid and the mint is completely chopped. Add the rum and beat for one more minute. This can be kept in the fridge for a month. To prepare the mojito, fill a tall glass 1/4 full with the base liquid, add 3 ice cubes and then fill the glass with sparkling water. Add a sprig of mint, stir and serve.
CHOCOLATE MINT Mentha x piperita piperita Zone 4-9 For years we were convinced the ‘chocolateness’ was a figment of someone’s imagination. Peppermint is overlaid by something that adds up to a striking ‘peppermint patty’ scent. A real treat for discriminating noses!
PEPPERMINT Mentha x piperita piperita Zone 5-9 (Candymint) Peppermint tea is an old favourite — a refreshing alternative to coffee and regular tea. Excellent for stomach indigestion. Lends its spiciness to many dishes. Don’t be fooled by seeds labelled as ‘peppermint’, peppermint can’t produce seeds because its flowers are sterile.
Perennial Cut Flowers in the Garden Bouquets of cut flowers are a source of great pleasure to many gardeners - and their friends. And many perennial varieties are a great source of cut flowers, many of which are not included in standard florist arrangements. In addition, many make excellent dried flowers as well. It might be a good idea to plant a cutting garden separate from your flower beds so you don’t have to raid these for your bouquets. It should also be separate from your vegetable garden as you may wish to spray the flowers with pesticides not acceptable for use on vegetables. Take a bucket of water into the garden when cutting and put the flowers in up to their necks as you cut them. Put the bucket in a cool place and let the flowers have a long drink- preferably overnight, before arranging them. Remove any leaves below the water line and crush any woody stems at the base. Most flowers benefit from having the stems recut under water as they are arranged. Those exuding sap such as platycodon and poppies, or those with hollow stems such as dahlias, should be held under boiling water for 15 seconds before being plunged into cold water. Cutting flowers will

not weaken plants - it is even of some benefit - but removing leaves is another matter as the plant needs them for its survival. Do not remove more than 1/3 of a plant’s foliage in order not to weaken it. If you include perennials in your cutting garden with flowering times ranging from early spring to late fall, you will have a constant supply of cut flowers. In early spring bulbs such as tulips and daffodils are dominant. Early summer brings peonies, columbine in all its colour combinations, sweet william and the many varieties of campanula. Astilbe, shasta daisies, liatris and carnations follow. Later, delphiniums, phlox, scabiosas and rudbeckias dominate. And nothing beats Michaelmas daisies for great fall colour. As a filler, of course, there’s no equal to baby’s breath, which comes in pink as well. These are of course, just a few of the great variety of beautiful and unusual perennials you can include in your cutting garden.

Adding A Pond
O
ne of the most dramatic changes you could make to your
garden is to add a pond or fountain. Your first reaction might be that you don’t have enough room, but in fact the area that you can enclose with your arms is enough for a miniature lily and several marginal plants as well. You may think that a water garden is a lot of work, but a pond, once established, needs less looking after than any other feature of a garden. Water lilies can be left undisturbed for years while marginal plants require less weeding and are less susceptible to drought than plants in a bed or border. Furthermore, a pond or fountain provides a focus to your garden that no other feature can. Children and adults alike are irresistibly drawn to water. Therein is, of course, a very real danger which you should bear in mind if you have very young children. Ponds can be made in one of three ways. You could choose a rigid fiberglass or plastic pool of predetermined shape, in which case you excavate the site to conform to this shape. These pools are fairly quick and easy to lay in place and are extremely tough and durable. You are, of course, restricted in the size and design of your pond. The second and perhaps the most popular method of making the pond is to use a flexible liner. These liners are made from polyethylene, PVC, or Butyl rubber. Polyethylene is the cheapest but also the most susceptible to damage by sun light. PVC has characteristics quite different from plastic. Ultraviolet rays have comparatively little effect on it and it is to a limited extent, flexible, which poly is not. Butyl rubber is without doubt, the best of pond liners. It is tough, elastic, and virtually unaffected by sunlight. Although the cost is twice that of PVC, there is no comparison as regards durability and longevity. The third way of constructing your pool is to use concrete. To some people, its solidity and the fact that it cannot be pierced justify the added expense. Drawbacks include the expense of installation and of course the danger of it cracking especially under the pressure of ice.
Kirstin Siebenga and Candu enjoying the view from the bridge at Country Garden Greenhouse. Once your pool is constructed, you will want to stock it with plants and fish. In addition to water lilies and marginal plants such as cattails and water iris, you will need oxygenating plants to compete with algae for nutrients and keep the water crystal clear. Goldfish too, help to maintain the health of the pond by eating aphids and their presence add to its beauty and appeal to the serenity factor of water in the landscape.

Good Scents Gardening Just when you thought you had your garden planned with a nice selection of annuals, perennials, herbs and shrubs, tall and short, sunny and shady, nice combination of colours, here’s one more factor you might want to take into consideration - the planting of good scents. The perfume of flowers has a way of immediately raising our spirits, triggering memories, and adding immensely to our enjoyment of the garden. The remedial effect of fragrance was recognized long before anyone studied the physiology of smelling or the recent popularity of aromatherapy. But therapeutic enough is a stroll through the garden in June when the roses, lavender and pinks are releasing their abundant fragrance. Roses, of course, are one of the first scented flowers to come to mind, but many of the modern hybrid teas, in breeding for shape and colour have lost most or all of the scent of their old-fashioned relatives. Some species shrub roses, such as Rugosa, are especially fragrant and useful in landscaping, and as an added benefit don’t require any winter protection. Another highly scented shrub, which blooms in early spring, is Rock Daphne. Its intense fragrance keeps people coming back for just one more smell. Next to bloom are the lilacs, also known especially for their fragrance. The double-flowered French Hybrids are especially beautiful and come in colours of white, red, pink blue and purple. In early summer Mock Orange covers its dense mound of weeping foliage with fragrant white blooms single or double. They are a favourite in mixed shrub borders. Many perennials come to mind when we think of scents, first to bloom being violets and lilies-of-the-valley. Primroses, carnations, iris, phlox, wallflower and lavender also present themselves, and less obvious are cimicifuga, meadowsweet, sweet woodruff, mint and money plant. Many perennials also have aromatic foliage. Some of these include: yarrow, golden marguerites, wormwood, monarda, marjoram, sage, rue, lavender and thyme. Annuals, of course, are easiest to change from year to year, but here again many have lost much of their fragrance through breeding for other qualities. Some of the more strongly fragrant are: carnations, heliotrope, nicotiana, night-blooming stocks, petunia (some), stocks, sweet alyssum, sweet peas, and sweet william. One group of annuals grown for their scented foliage is the scented geraniums. Although they don’t usually produce showy flowers, it’s worthwhile to have a couple of varieties in your garden just for nose treats. The lemon scented variety supposedly has the added benefit of being a natural mosquito repellent, so having a few pots of them on your patio is very beneficial.
