Mosaic Monday: Well Sweep Herb Farm







This week I visited Well Sweep Herb Farm with my friend Toni Ann.  It's about an hour's drive from my house, through some really beautiful countryside in New Jersey.  There are chickens and sheep, and a beautifully designed herb garden filled with everything from angelica to...  well, whatever begins with the letter Z.  :)  I had to restrain myself from buying too many plants;  I already have several that need to be planted.  I did buy a myrtle, a basil and a succulent, which I hope to avoid killing on my windowsill this winter.  :)  If you are looking for a source for herb plants, check out their website.  They have a tremendous selection.

Here are the instructions to join today's post:
1. Publish your Mosaic Monday post. The post may be about any subject you wish. The only stipulation is that it include a collage, or mosaic of photos.
2. Once it is published, click on the title of the post. This will lead you to the static link for your post. The static link is the page with only that post on it. Copy the url from your browser at the top of the page.
3. Paste the url into the appropriate inlinkz box in this post.
4. Type your name in the appropriate inlinkz box in this post.
5. Click on "Enter."
6. Please link back to this Mosaic Monday post so that your readers can find other wonderful mosaics.


That's all there is to it! It's always a good idea to then check and see if your link is working. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: mrcarroll(at)optonline.net

And a quick reminder: if you would like to join Mosaic Monday but don't know quite where to start, there is a tutorial on mosaic-making on my sidebar. Just scroll down, and click on the small blue mosaic.

  2. It's such a good time of the year to visit a place like this. Everything is mature and you can enjoy the variety of scents. Looks like fun!

  6. That's a wonderful place. You did well to get out of there with only a few plants. Say, do you happen to know what the blue flowered tree is in the final photo? I have never seen anything like that, though perhaps the shaping of the tree is disguising it for me.

    Exquisite photography, Mary, always, always...

    1. Vee, I think the blue-flowered tree is a rosemary standard -- trimmed to that ball-shape. It smelled divine. :) xoxo

  16. NJ is just full of beautiful places! I adore that brick path.

    Do you know what that plant is in the first photo? Walking through Cambridge with Charlie last Fri I saw lots of flowers that I think are the same and have wondered what they are.

    1. Gail, I believe that they are Japanese Anemone. They are beautiful, aren't they? xoxo
