Plants & Rum
The Meyer’s lemon in the yard is still producing lemons and if even one of the six lemons spread throughout the yard produce half as many lemons as any one tree has set buds, I’ll be up to my ears in lemons throughout the rest of the year. That is the kind of problem I like to have.
I haven’t been quite as proactive about weeding as I probably should be. End result; I have tons of volunteer Mint growing all over the place. Well, anyplace that the Pot Marigold (pictured) isn’t growing as a volunteer.
Of course, Mint is an invasive weed that will happily choke out everything else. It must be removed!
Hmmm…
Mint.
Lemons.
Crush the mint into a glass, squeeze in about a quarter / half a lemon (to taste), add a shot or two of white Rum, a couple of ice cubes, fill the rest of the way with Club Soda.
A Mojito, but without the sugar. The lemons are really quite sweet, so no sugar needed. That I don’t like terribly sweet things certainly contributes.
