Come back and get some plants for some great deals. Fall is an excellent time to plant, it gives your garden a head start for spring. The plants have time to get situated in their new surroundings and then really show off next year. The sooner you visit, the better the selection.

Come in and make something beautiful for your garden. These classes are great excuses to get dirty and the perfect outlet for all of your creative energy. As always, we are open to scheduling a class specific to you and a group of friends. Just call and speak with Peggy and hopefully we can set something up for you. 502.296.1499

As requested by a customer, we posted this cookie recipe and hope that many of you make and enjoy eating these as much as we do. This is one of our favorite recipes and Julie always does a bang up job making them. Thanks Julie for passing this recipe along. btw- I believe Julie uses Lemon Thyme for the cookies, to make them lemonier of course. The recipe appeared in SUNSET magazine and is credited to Janet Moore, Beulah, CO.

THYME-LEMON COOKIES

1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons dry thyme leaves
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel.

Combine butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar; beat until thoroughly blended. Beat in eggs until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, thyme, and lemon peel; mix well. Put remaining 1/4 cup sugar into a small bowl. Shape into 1 Tbsp-size balls (chill for an hour for easier handling); drop balls into sugar & roll to coat. Place balls 1 inch apart on ungreased 12×15″ sheet. Bake at 375° 12 to 15 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
