Inspired by this beautiful day. I whipped together a yummy, refreshing, and summery drink…I think I shall call it “Frosty Sangria“.
For my large pitcher shown here, I used 1 can of Bacardi Rum Runner frozen concentrate mixer, 2 cans of cold Black Cherry Citrus Fresca, 2 cans of Pinot Grigio wine, 1 1/2 c cold water, lots of ice, fresh raspberries, blueberries and mint.
Oh, and I served it in my fancy LFC wine glasses.
Cheers!

Need a helpful way to keep track of all of your plantings? Well, I found a solution! The local garden store had all these tomatoes and the Home Depot had the plastic plant ID Tags with 7″ Wood Sticks, they came in a pack of 6 for $4.79. The empty seed packets fit perfectly in the sleeve.
Now, you can take this a step futher by creating your own ID Tag…like shown here. A hand created tag will give your garden a little more personality. I then took the plant tag and placed it in the back so that I have the planting information at hand.
This year, I planted a flight of heirloom tomatoes, sunflowers, beets, radish, colored carrots, basil, cilantro, red, yellow and green peppers.
I hope to have a tomato tasting party in August. Kind of like a wine tasting but with salt.
I am so excited!!!
Happy planting!
