Making lemonbalm and mint ice cubes! ๐ You make pomegranate ice cubes the same way, with pomegranate arils - pull apart the fruit first, and scatter the red fleshy arils in the trays. Easy.
Making lemonbalm & mint ice cubes from some of the trimmings (I've been pruning overgrown plants - lemonbalm, mint and lavender, although lavender's not in there). Ran out of pomegranates, so had to use lemonbalm plant trimmings - which I'd been planning to do so for a while anyway, as lemonbalm's good for calming nerves, especially if sucked in an ice block. ๐
Photo 1: Chop up trimmings with scissors, scattering in ice cube trays as you do so.
Photo 2: Carefully fill with tap (or any other suitable for drinking!) water.
Photo 3: Put in freezer overnight. Will add more photos of use in drinks (like iced coffees!) when they are done! ๐
Photo 4: Pomegranate ice cube trays. Same method - just pull apart the fruit, scatter the red fleshy arils - the edible bits! - in the ice cube trays. Easy. You can buy pomegranates from a greengrocer - I get mine from Thai Heng Grow next to Warehouse Stationery on Lincoln Road. They often have them there. ๐

Many New Zealand gardens arenโt seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days โ the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, whoโs made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
