Did you know our decorative pumpkins are also edible? When they’re done adorning the porch, you can cut them into big wedges, roast them, scoop out the flesh and use it in soups and baked goods.

Herbs are our transitional friends that help us go from summer to fall to winter. Here are 5 ways to bring herbs into your life during this time of year and to celebrate the transition from summer to fall.
1. Perennial herbs such as thyme, sage, and mint still have plenty of time to put down roots and make it through our Vermont winters.
2. Tender herbs such as basil and rosemary can be planted in pots to live outdoors until the cold weather hits. Rosemary tolerates temperatures just above freezing. Basil is sad if temperatures get below 45F. Bring the pots inside and treat them like edible houseplants once it is too cold outside.
3. Cold hardy annual herbs such as cilantro, dill and parsley can be planted right into the garden and they will last long into the fall. They can grow and live even when the snow flies, and can withstand some pretty hard frosts.
4. Use herbs for teas all winter long. Your drying set up can be as simple as a basket on the counter or you make little bundles that hang in a dark, airy place. Mint, lemon verbena, and anise hyssop are all great herbs that dry very easily.
5. Make pesto, chimichuri, zhoug and other herb condiments. These freeze really well and liven up those wintertime meals with summer memories.

A lady hummingbird visiting these pots of Cuphea ‘David’s Verity’. It is the absolute best food source for hummingbirds loading up before their migration. I plant these on my mom’s balcony every year (with help from Taylor McAlister this May 💚🙏) and watching the hummingbirds together is an outsized pleasure; bigger than the sum of its parts; an alchemical joy of botanical delight. - Julie
PS - we still have pots of this plant, on sale, and ready for you to create your own magical, natural theater.
