Run for the Roses

The first Saturday in May is here already and we all know what happens on that day.
The Kentucky Derby.  The Run for the Roses.

Trying to pick the winner among all those beautiful powerful horses is hard. Very hard.
This year I'll have none of that hard mental work.
This year it is not about the horses or the roses. It is about the mint.
The mint in the Julep. My homegrown mint with a splash of KY distilled bourbon.
A great drink, once-a-year, LOL.




Mint Julep, a happy drink for happy times.

 Remember darling, its about the plants.
A BIG hint if you ever decide to grow your own mint- put it in a big pot,
or grow it by itself away from other plants or grow the mint with other
evasive plants and see who wins. The running mint will probably win. My bet.
You need not have green thumb to grow mint.


Cheers.
my pick is Oxbow and Java for the Derby.

Thoroughbreds
wanting their treats.
