They don’t have one up on me. I’ve had one of those for quite some time now. It was given to my by a friend. Can’t get any better than that.
Today I would love for you to come take a stroll with me to my outdoor kitchen.
Let’s see what’s cookin.
Looks like we have some wonderful sweet potato (vine). It’s still a bit small, but by the end of summer it will be full and trailing. Also on the menu are pink, white, and salmon begonias. Don’t be impatiens, it will be followed by a bit of lobelia.
Then we have a nice cold slice of watermelon. Also if you’d like, we can portulaca you an ice cold drink from one of my vintage watering cans.
Let me warn you, I think that there has been a bit of hanky panky going on in the kitchen.
Anyone who knows me knows what an obsessive dead header I am. The minute a plant is through blooming I am cutting it back.
So someone tell me where all of these little feverfew babies came from?
The herb garden is directly in front of my stove, and I only have a bit of feverfew.
Even Rusty, the rooster is wondering why the food in his feeder is not quite what he’s use to.
Instead of chicken feed he gets, fern, impatiens, black sweet potato vine, and fuchsia.
What a silly kitchen this is! Even the dishes and silverware don’t know where they belong.
They just seem to be hanging around wherever they feel like it.
Welcome to Jann’s wonderland.
Hope you enjoyed your meal. Drop in anytime, I’d love to cook for you again.
Seriously, I really do love to cook. But if I have to choose between cooking and gardening, gardening wins hands down every time

Cute, beyond cute. Great post and a darling garden. Oh, how I miss lushness in the garden.
What a fun post! It is so hot here that my plants are showing signs of the stress even though I water them daily. It's nice to see your cool, calm and beautiful garden.
What a cute post! Love your outdoor kitchen!

Adorable post. I love all the hanging cuteness you have. Very inspirational - I may just have to do a bit of borrowing - you have great ideas! I have a vintage stove, too - but it's in my kitchen. I like your rusty stove!!!

Hey Jann,
Don't know how to email you...I made the cookies with half milk choc. and half bittersweet the other day (didn't have semi-sweet) wasn't sure how they were going to be but they tasted great!
Glad you liked the recipe.

I Love your Kitchen Garden!! I have a 1940-50 Tappen stove that I found(free) it's gonna be a serving/potted piece. I almost had a vintage wringer washer for $35 to put in my 'outdoor laundry room' but had no way to get it home
8o( LOL I'm still waitin for hubby to bring home an old engine so I can plant it up to go near his garage area in the back of the house. Hey I love themed gardens. he don't have to be formal just fun!
I just love your outdoor kitchen! So very whimsical! Your herb garden looks marvelous! Don't look at mine right now - tons of deadheading needed!
Have a great day,
Kathy
