Project Tariq

carnaby st posted this 10th July 2009 1:29pm

We have a new addition here at the Carnaby shop. His name is Tariq. He’s a mint plant.

IMG_6981The project was a struggle to get off the ground. The seeds were missing from the packet. Florists looked at me like I was crazy when I asked where I could get them. Homebase was sold out, apart from a lone packet. I checked the packet. Someone had nicked them.

But we overcame. The seeds have been sown, the manifesto memorised.

Jeff.

    Good luck with this.

    Tip for making the best Mojito’s – Spank the mint before adding to the rum as this releases the natural oils and dont muddle the mix after you have added the mint, just stir. Over muddling will bruise the leaves and make them bitter.

    Happy growing!

    dont let tariq die,

    otherwise he will become tariq-gone,

    which is another herb altogether.

    I love this!
    At home I have Mr. Basil, Ms. Parsley, Master Mint (Traiq is cooler than ‘Master Mint’ I have to admit), and soon to be added to the family is Lady Rosemary. Yay :)
