I travel to Boston a few times a year and I always go to Carlo's. Not only that I have recommended it to many business associates and family and friends and they all rave about the place. It is a wonderful dinning or lunch experience and the food is always fantastic!!!

I have been going to this place for my pre-Boston Marathon meal since 1996. It is the BEST authentic Italian food and atmosphere in Boston. But go early if you don't want to wait for a table.

This place is amazing but I do agree that the tables are very tight! You can go in the basement to wait though, as the place gets crowded and get wine while you wait.

 I highly recomment this place!!

Fabulous food for a great value. However, the tables are tightly packed into a small restaurant and the chairs are pretty uncomfortable. Overall, the service is good and the food is delicious!

NEW: June *Princess of the Month~Diene~*
Step up and accept your Tiara as I place it on your head for the month of June. Prepare to be pampered by your loyal subjects!
I hope you have a wonderful month, Princess Diene!
Let's make Princess Diene's month worthy of her status!
Your package is going out shortly your Majesty! I'll post the DC# when I return home from the post office.
Hello Everyone;
I am enjoying the idea of being a princess. I was hoping the PO would do what they say they are going to do and deliver on time but no package today. Oh well, thanks Deb, I am so excited. Unfortunately, I am leaving for the weekend early tomorrow afternoon so I may not be able to acknowledge your gift until Sunday. Have a great weekend everyone. diene
Hello Deb;
I was out of town on Saturday so of course the PO delivered your box. Fortunately, it was not hot or sunny so it does not look like anything suffered. I received some gorgeous plant markers made from some precious metals as befits my station in life. I also received some lovely books and magazines for my idle time. Then there were bulbs, bulbs, and more bulbs. There was an exotic canna, I have to take a look at the name again, will post more tomorrow but that was just the beginning. I also received dahlias, begonias, gladiolus, ajuga, and there was more, I just can't keep it straight this evening. Thanks so much Deb, I will properly reward my loyal subject tomorrow when I am not so scattered. diene
Hello Everyone;
I will try to remember everything. First I received a wonderful magnetized shopping list, big so you can fit everything and very pretty design so it looks good. That was perfect!! Then the plant markers are wonderful and will last alot longer than those plastic things that come with plants. Then the books and magazines, I have not seen any of them before.
Now on to the bulbs, I have pink gladiolus, pink hyacinth, double red begonia, a starry night canna, a deep rose colored dahlia and a golden ajuga. I just arrived home and hope to get to the garden as soon as I finish my paperwork. I am toying with spreading these out or planting them all together for a riot of color. Of course the begonia cannot join the fun as it would not survive in the full sun the rest of them need. I also need to build that trellis for my clematis. Better get to work. A princesses is always busy tending to her subjects!!
Thanks again, Deb.
Hello Michelle;
Your box arrived today but I had some unexpected things happen and I was not able to open it. Had it been a little box, I may have but it was way too big and pretty heavy. Fortunately, it was only 58 degrees today with no sun so it should do fine until tomorrow. I am so sorry not to post immediately, thanks for your efforts. I will post again when I have a chance to inventory everything Thanks. diene
Hello All;
Well I just finished planting all my stuff, there was a purple astilbe, four different kinds of columbine, two different coleus, two differnt sedum, dianthus (red), lavendar, and I was sure I would remember but I do not. There was more of something, I will let you know later. I picked two spots in different gardens and split the stuff up into the shade lovers and the sun lovers. I am very excited to see them grow. Thanks Michelle for your hard work and kindness. "your princess diene"
Hello to the group,
Not sure what is happening with this swap, first we lose our leader, now I am not sure about what is left. I do not know if Susan ever received all of her boxes and there has been no chatter on this thread at all. Thanks to Deb and Michelle for my gifts, I know they also sent to Susan but I am not sure about the rest of the group. Are you there? Are you still with us? I will go back and look for Susan's thread but since June ends on Friday, we should be planning for the new coronation. I also need to see who takes over the reign. diene
Hello All;
After I wrote the note above I started thinking about it and I really do not need any more plants or stuff so lets just write off June and concentrate on finishing the year.
I have Melinda's questionnaire if anyone needs it, she is our July Princess, lets get back in the spirit and finish the year.
Hope everyone is well, if not, let us know so we can at least sympathize with you.
Happy Summer, this is the time we all live for. diene
I'm sorry you have not receved any more boxes, people are hopfully just buisy in the garden, I have noticed others dissapiering too.
I have been surching the area for catepillars. so far I have 2 monarch, 5 black swallow tails, and 2 anise swallow tails.
my garden is doing great, little too great I need to got out and weed.
I hope everyone comes back
Hello Melinda;
I am serious about not wanting people to worry about a box for me. I live in a resort community and starting Saturday I have non stop company until Labor Day. I will be hard pressed to get boxes out and not have time to plant anything that is sent so I wish people would just concentrate on keeping this going. Thanks for the offer but just take care of your health so you can enjoy your month. diene
It's so hard to keep a group going without a Hostess. I'll try to help out as much as possible. Diene (or anyone who has the "Princess" lineup list), please post an updated list of upcoming Princess names here. Aug.-Dec.
I joined late, so don't even have an updated list. From reading the posts Melinda's next...
Let's take a roll call and see who's still participating!
Start preparing Melinda a special box! Show her that the group is still together!
My suggestion**
For those of you who didn't send Diene a box out for this month, think about sending her a gift certificate. That way it can be used at her convience. I'm sure Diene loves all the common online places- Glasshouse works, Parks seeds, Springhill nursery. Diene always sends/packs very special boxes. I remember her sending two boxes out for one month (to make up for Jenn's disappearance).
If Diene sent you a box for this month, it's only right for you to do the same. ;)
Let's keep this going!
Hello Deb;
I will take on the hostess responsibility for the remainder of this swap, it will be easier for me because I have already had my month. Nevermind the gift certificates, that was a nice thought but let us just get back on track. I will e-mail everyone individually to see where they are at.
I do recognize that life has a way of making simple tasks hard and I appreciate that. I am hoping that people either get back into this group or officially drop out. We can probably replace them if they have not already had their turn. If they have, then the option to drop out is really not available to them.
My thoughts. diene
Diene,So sorry with the lateness of your princess box this month and my lack of posting.I am still in an RA flare but that is no excuse and isn't meant to be used as one.Oh well I will be back good to go soon and posting like mad again.Oh you all should see my poor neglected garden.E-Gads!!For now I just need to learn to admire how lovely my weeds look.LOL I will still get your box on its way this week yet just like I was planning so you will receive it before your reign ends.I won't take no as an answer so don't even try : ))
Hope you all are having a great summer.Hope to be back full force with you all shortly.
Good Morning Hazelnut;
We are looking for someone to take the October birthday spot. What that means is that you send a box to the July, August and September Princess and in October you are the princess and you get boxes from everyone. All we ask is that you follow through for the remainder of the year and come and visit. It is a great group.
I will send you the questionnaire privately as you should not put your address on the web.
I, for one, welcome you. diene
hello and welcome hazelnutbunny.
I live in west central IL. right on the Miss. river.
I love to grow from seed, and I'm trying to learn more about propigation.
I like to do wildlife gardening, I grow plants for birds, butterflys, caterpillars, and densely planted ponds for the frogs and turtle.
I make birdhouese when I have the time.
I have two little boys timmy 4 1/2 and jeremy 18mo.
I hope you have fun here.
Welcome hazelnutbunny.Good to have you on board.I absolutely love your adorable username : ))
Princess Diene,Your box is heading East thismorning.Hope you enjoy the remainder of your reign : )
#0103 8555 7490 8715 0961
Your loyal subject...
Nancy : ))
Welcome hazelnutbunny! Glad you could join!
Diene-I was working on your box! Just been busy with drs. etc and got behind! I can go ahead and send or can send sometime when the weather cools off and just be a nice surprise! I sent 4 boxes today and trying to get yours finished to mail tomorrow. PLMK if you want me to wait! I certainly enjoyed the box you sent me in March!
Anxiously looking forward to doing no boxes in July and just getting some!! LOL!
To all the ladies I just want to let you know that I plan on finishing the year with these. I have enjoyed doing the boxes I sent and hope you all enjoyed the ones I have sent! Even if a tad late!
I have had some medical things pop up and most days off lately been going to dr. Some of you know and some may not that my mother (longtime member of GW) died of complications due to breast cancer last April. I have also lost 7 aunts to it and my grandmother and grandfather also had it. So I am quite faithful with my mammograms! Well this one is bad and done ultrasound and now go on Monday for MRI. Dr. didn't say much but he didn't have to I guess. But I have faith it will turn out ok, but could still use everyone's prayers. But I plan on digging and planting as long as I can!! And will be sure and get boxes out each month. My daughter is fixing to move close (yeah!) and she will help.
So come on ladies and let's keep this going! Melinda
Hi Everyone,
I am sorry I havn't been around. Life is crazy, but good! I posted for all the boxes I got, I hope everyone saw their Thanks.
June isn't over yet, don't count me out yet, please. Diene's will be arriving Friday in her Email.
I am still in this swap unless I get booted out of course. LOL, and my gifts have to go out toward the end of each month due to payrol schedules, sorry.
Good news.... My health has improved, Don is quitting his lousy job and starting a new one Sept. 1st. Better job in pay and atmosphere, we are very happy. Garden is blowing out, I am up to my neck in cukes, pickles and soon will be in the same boat with tomatos. We are harvesting the potatos in two more weeks and I will be freezing them in french fry form. Then corn....then butternut squash....then planting Fall crops. I love gardening!!!
I appreciate you all keeping this swap going. I have been good about not joining anymore till things stable out. Looking at October for joining some new ones.
I hope you all are having a wonderful Summer, being blessed and being loved.
Hugs to all,
Hello All;
I really feel like I have caused some anxiety when that was not my intention. I do not need anymore flowers but I do not want anyone to buy me a gift certificate like Deb suggested. I just want everyone to come and visit. That is how I have been my whole life. I love people not stuff. So do not feel you need to send me anything, just hang around and get to know me. It was a wonderful month and the flowers are starting to bloom. diene
diene, you should know it is usless to tell people here not to send you something, it is impossible for them not to send something. everyone is very giving and just can't stop themselfs.
I'm very glade we are staying together, my other swap group is disolving, and I don't know if we will be able to pull it all back together. I just love getting to know people the have the same addiction as me.
have a great day
Hello Susan;
You should have said something during your birthday month. I know some lobstermen and I also know some people who have FedEx accounts. I probably could have taken care of your lobster fix.
They have become expensive now and will be until the middle of July because they are molting now and do not move around much so the catch dries up. End of July, beginning of August, remind me, I will check it out and let you know. They can be sent live and will live 24 hours or can be cooked and sent and will last much longer. We can talk about it.
On a much more exciting note, I recieved a wonderful box from Nancy (cedarnest) today. It had lots of bulbs and a beautiful decorative plate. I did not have a chance to disect it because we were rushing out the door to get on our new boat. That nearly turned disasterous as the engine died out in the Atlantic and Bush arrived today so the Coast Guard first told us they were too busy to come and help. The company we have contracted with to assist us in just such an emergency refused to come because of an approaching storm. The story goes on and on sounding worse by the minute but then some friends we called said they would come tow us in, the coast guard called back and said they were sending a 47 foot boat out and a third boat showed up with a backyard mechanic on board who fixed out engine as our friends arrived to tow us in. We did not see the Coast Guard, they did not make it in time and we did make it home under our own power with our friends following in case we had trouble.
Needless to say it was almost dark by the time we arrived home and the storm never materialized (thank God) but I made myself a drink and dinner and came to visit. I think I am getting too old for this. The only good news is that was the third life threatening situation for DH. He tipped his kayak about six weeks ago and I had to drag his butt and kayak to shore, then he crashed in an airplane but no injuries and finally we bobbed along in a dead boat in the Atlantic for two hours this evening. He keeps trying to say we were never in any danger but I think he is nuts.
I am on drink number two so please pardon grammer and spelling. I will end this now. I am well but very tired. Talk to you tomorrow. Thanks again Nancy. diene
Diene,I am glad the box arrived ok.Hope you enjoy it.I treied to pick bulbs that would grow ok in your zone.I sure hope they do well for you.
Sounds like you had quite an eventful day..to say the least huh?.I am afraid if anything like that would have happened to me I would have had to down more than a few.LOL Glad everything worked out ok for you and you and hubby are safe and sound.I would have been scared to death.
Hope you have a wonderful and safe remainder of your reign Princess Diene : ))
Susan that is wonderful news on your improving health.Its no fun being down.Oh my Lobster!! Its been so long I have forgotten what it even tastes like.Think I will splurge this weekend and get a couple.See what you started! LOL : ))
Melinda,Praying everything works out well for you.You have a wonderful attitude and outlook.That means alot.Bet you are getting excited to me crowned our next Princess.It is so much fun! : ))
Michelle,Remember that birdhouse you made for me??Well I am happy to report it is now occupied by a family of wrens.They look so danged cute peeking their little heads out at me.Cracks me up : ))
Speaking of birds..Deb..Do any of those Monk Parrots nest in your yard?That would be a site to see them in the wild : ))
Hazelnutbunny..A BIG WELCOME again.You will love this group of gals.I know I sure do : ))
Well the days a wastin' so I better go get some things done.Hope you all have a Great Weekend;
Hello All;
I know this will seem strange but I decided to post here rather than intruding on HNB and her month. I received an amazing package today from Melinda. First it cost her fifteen dollars to send. Either you guys are a lot richer than I or you are bankrupting yourselves with these swaps. Please try to keep to a flat rate box, that is bad enough!!
Having said that, I love everything and it probably would not fit in a flat rate box. That is how I know she went overboard. I received so much stuff I had to write it down, now where is that list? Oh yeah!
A whole package of Hershey bars, eight of them!! A great book about Concrete Designs for Gardens which I will be reading later tonight. A seaside picture puzzle in a beautiful tin, you know those things Hallmark sells. I have never owned one before but I love puzzles. They keep us sane (sort of) in the winter here.
Then there was the beautiful floral arrangement in a pumpkin vase (I think she made this, if so, she has way more talent than I). The flowers are silk so they will last until Halloween. But wait, there is more, a votive candle and holder with a lighthouse design in glass, as well as a garden flag of a lighthouse (are you seeing a theme here).
Now the really fun stuff (yes there is more). For bulbs I received Mt. Hood Daffodils, Red Sensation Tulips and assorted color Dutch Irises. Now for live plants she sent three different daylily fans (marked of course) and a plant called Nandina. Do not ask me anymore about any of these because I have no idea but I certainly plan on finding out.
We are in the middle of a Nor'easter so nothing can get planted today but everything looks like it was just taken out of the ground today.
Thank you Melinda, you did make me feel royal. diene
Here is a picture of my stash
Here is a picture I took of the storm approaching over the ocean yesterday
The picture does not do it justice, you could actually see the line on the horizon where the weather was nice and the dark clouds coming in.
Thanks again for my haul. I am overwhelmed. diene
I am so glad you liked the stuff Diene! Yes, I did make the flower arrangement. It is fun to do stuff to keep me from going crazy all the time! And I pick up stuff here and there throughout the year when things are on sale and can always throw together a box or make a craft without having to go to town. Which I hate! Have to go to work and rest of time I want to be at home!
You sent me a couple of very nice boxes this year and I thoroughly enjoyed sending yours! You wanted me to wait so I did and felt it would be nice to send a good box when I sent! Certainly hope it is not too late to plant the items in the ground! They will probably go dormant but come back in the spring! The nandina doesn't here, so not sure about that plant there.
Glad you enjoyed it! Melinda

You can get your group photo by the tour operator
Also there is a great souvenir shop to get gifts of your visit here.
Very interesting place that you don't miss ! You can see North Korea closely. But a bit tension and very strict zone.
From a tourist perspective, only a place to stop, see a movie, and go to a gift shop and perhaps get a great t-shirt or a bottle of North Korean wine. While you are there, be sure to thank the soldiers you encounter for their service and to take a moment on reflect on who Major Bonifas was and the...
Informative slide show presentation and the first part of the JSA tour. WIthout this, you cannot visit the rest of the JSA
All you are allowed to do here is to see a Slide show about the JSA. You also have to sign an agreement that you will follow all the rules and they will not be held responsible should you "wander" into hostile North Korea. With all the military presence, I'm not sure that would be possible! There is also a...
Such a friendly group of people and doing amazing work. Really informative tour of the camp and DMZ. Well worth a vist.
Camp Bonifas is the United Nations Military Command base where you will be transferred from your JSA tour bus to a special military bus into the JSA area. Here you will be issued with your pass, sign a waiver, watch a video and on your return will be able to access the JSA Visitor Center gift shop. You are only...
This was the highlight of the DMZ tour and make sure you do not miss it if you are booked for DMZ tour. this is usually in the afternoon. book early as they need your passport details. whilst gawking at the NK side, they are watching you from the many cameras mounted overhead as well. Obey instucitons and dont do...
Great insight to the North-South conflict and all the politics surrounding it.... plus, you get to stand on North Korean soil!
Check out my review of the DMZ/JSA for a more detailed review. But, don't plan on going to Camp Bonifas without buying a tour.
Small interesting museum, and nice gift shop if you want souvenirs.

Julian Casablancas to Release Box Set Edition of Solo Album
By Tom Breihan on October 23, 2009 at 3:10 p.m. EDT
We're less than two weeks away from Phrazes for the Young, the first solo album from Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas. (It's due due November 2 in the UK via Rough Trade and November 3 in the U.S. via Cult/RCA.) But if you're willing to wait a little longer and drop $89.95, you can get yourself a whole lot more Julian, since he's also releasing a deluxe box set edition of the album.
Trent Reznor Returns to Twitter, Again
By Tom Breihan on October 21, 2009 at 11:05 a.m. EDT
First Trent Reznor quit Twitter. Then he jumped back on. Then he quit again. And last night, the Nine Inch Nails frontman once again returned to microblogging. Given that Reznor's online persona was among the most consistently entertaining in all of pop music, this is good news. If only he could make up his mind!
Jay Reatard Recruits New Band
By Tom Breihan on October 19, 2009 at 1:45 p.m. EDT
Photo by Andy Eisberg
Earlier this month, Memphis garage punk Jay Reatard lost his rhythm section. Bassist Stephen Pope and drummer Billy Hayes quit Reatard's band, an event that Reatard himself addressed on his Twitter with characteristic restraint and maturity: "Fuck them! They are boring rich kids who can't play for ahit anyways ... Say hello to your ugly and boring wifes opps I mean lifes guys suck it."
But the Matablog reports that Reatard has already lined up replacements: bassist Anders Thode and drummer Jacob Elving, both of the Danish punk band the Cola Freaks. The two will join Reatard on a European tour next week, and in November, they'll come to the U.S. for more shows, including some opening the Pixies' Doolittle tour. All those dates are below.
Hear Bon Iver's "Last Show for the Foreseeable Future"
By Ryan Dombal on October 14, 2009 at 2:40 p.m. EDT
Front page photo by Kathryn Yu; photo on this page by Eirik Lande
After touring the world behind his breakthrough LP For Emma, Forever Ago, and follow-up EP Blood Bank, Justin Vernon is putting the breaks on Bon Iver in order to regroup. According to a recent post on his website, the performance at Milwaukee's Riverside Theatre on October 11 was Bon Iver's "last show for the foreseeable future."
"Wrapping up a meteor is a difficult proposition," the post said, adding that this would be the band's final gig "before taking a well-deserved break from public performance."
Liam Gallagher Confirms Oasis Split
By Tom Breihan on October 8, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. EDT
Back in August, we reported that Noel Gallagher had quit Oasis, issuing a brief statement that he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer." Given that Noel served as the band's co-frontman and its guiding artistic force, it was tough to picture Oasis soldiering on without him. But up until now, we hadn't heard whether the band had ended or not.
In an interview with the London Times (via Billboard), Liam confirmed that Oasis is kaput: "Well, Oasis is no longer. I think we all know that. So that's done."
Radiohead Plan to Make Another Album After All?
By Tom Breihan on October 8, 2009 at 10:45 a.m. EDT
Back in August, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke gave a lengthy interview to The Believer, dropping the bombshell that Radiohead didn't plan on releasing any more full-length albums anytime soon: "None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again. Not straight off. I mean, it's just become a real drag. It worked with In Rainbows because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we've all said that we can't possibly dive into that again. It'll kill us."
Well, guitarist Ed O'Brien isn't so sure about that. In a recent interview with NME, he said: "We were misquoted. We will be making an album!" (Via At Ease.)
New Animal Collective Record to Be Released in December?
By Tom Breihan on October 7, 2009 at 2:05 p.m. EDT
We're still waiting on any sort of confirmation on this, but Animal Collective just might cap off their amazing year with another new release.
Right now, Amazon has a page for a new Animal Collective release called Fall Be Kind. There's no tracklist or cover art up, but there is a release date: December 8. And there is a record label: Domino. You can preorder this mysterious little platter for $11.38. Thanks to Shaun Oppedisano for the tip.
Jay Reatard's Band Quits
By Ryan Dombal on October 6, 2009 at 12:45 p.m. EDT
"Band quit! Fuck them! They are boring rich kids who can't play for ahit anyways ... Say hello to your ugly and boring wifes opps I mean lifes guys suck it."
That's Jay Reatard communicating the apparent demise of his touring band via Twitter this morning. If or how this will affect his upcoming U.S. and European tour dates is not known at press time. (A rep for Jay did not have any more information.)
UPDATE: It has been confirmed that bassist Stephen Pope and drummer Billy Hayes have indeed quit the band. Reatard is currently looking for new band members. However, no upcoming tour dates have been canceled.
Punk rock, dude. Punk fucking rock.
Drummer Frankie Rose Leaves Crystal Stilts, Forms New Band
By Tom Breihan on October 1, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
As Brooklyn Vegan reports and Crystal Stilts' publicist confirms, drummer Frankie Rose, the former Vivian Girl and occasional Dum Dum Girl, has left Crystal Stilts to focus on Frankie and the Outs, her new band. At this rate, she'll have been in every cool band in Brooklyn by, say, 2014.
Wavves vs. Black Lips: FITE!
By Mark Richardson on September 27, 2009 at 6:15 p.m. EDT
"Black Lips' Jared Swilley Attacks Wavves," read a headline here on Pitchfork back in June. In that article, the Black Lips dude was laying into Wavves' Nathan Williams, telling Norwegian radio station NRK, "I've heard stories from others that he's like a real dick. And just like a baby, thought he was really cool."
Well, the war of words has escalated into physical violence, but the roles are reversed: according to the blog Pop Jew in Brooklyn, and as posted by Brooklyn Vegan, Williams attacked Swilley, injuring him at a confrontation at the Williamsburg bar Daddy's following a Wavves show Friday night at the Market Hotel.
Or did he? As is often the case with drunken brawls in the wee hours of the morning, "what really happened" depends on whom you ask. The he said/he said details, as known at this time, are below the jump.

All our properties are furnished, include all utilities, wi-fi, laundry, everything you need!!! with a smile!
Hope to hear from you,
Mireille Lafrance
We stayed in the Master suite at Craigmyle for a month over the christmas holidays. In the morning you wake up to a fabulous view of the Craigdarroach castle from your bedroom window. Breakfast is served in the common area where tables are set up and you serve yourself. This provides a good opportunity to meet other fellow travellers and exchange stories. For the rest of the day one can use the lounge where there are comfortable chairs and couches by the fireplace. Computers and printers are provided for guest-use and there is even a telephone for free long distance calls to places in Canada and the U.S.A. A well-stocked kitchen is on the main floor and there is a laundry room in the basement. Towels, bed sheets, laundry soap, and other such provisions are stored here and guests can help themselves as needed. I you need help please speak to Veronika, who lives on-site, and is extremely helpful.
The building itself is over 100 years old but the owners, Mireille and Dennis, have done extensive renovations to the rooms making for a very comfortable stay. We appreciated the location of Craigmyle as one can walk to downtown in 15-20 minutes. It is hard to find more attentive and gracious hosts and we highly recommend staying here. Love their motto: 'Arrive as guests, leave as friends'.
Mirellle and Denis are great hosts. They connect with their guests, exhibit caring and interest, and keep on top of things. They attend to guest needs and make things happen. We needed to have a meeting and the large living room was ideal We we were encouraged to use the facilities for the meeting as we needed.
This is not a conventional B and B and that's what we love about it. People from all over the world, staying often for long periods so there can be relationships developed between guests. Not a meaningless conversation over breakfast where you know you will never see the people again. Many dining tables allows for different conversations every day if desired
Having free laundry and the ability to change your own sheets and towels as you see fit works really well for us. Knowing that the cleaner will not enter your suite until you check out means that you can leave it in the moment if necessary and not have to get ready for the cleaner.
We would always choose to stay here when we are in Victoria. Mireille and Denis feel like family, the facilities are perfect for us, and the rich mix of guests keeps it interesting during a long stay.
This host has 61 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
We love Victoria and have been managing our own properties in this beautiful town for 15years. We make every property unique and extremely comfortable for our guests. We love to travel and always stay in people's homes as opposed to hotels! It's so much better when travelling to have the comfort of a home and all its amenities. We love to share our passion about Victoria will all our guests!

mint flowering?
mommie_roseJuly 5, 2007
This is my first year growing spearmint. I got it as a transplant. I don't know what to do now that I've noticed the flowering. Should I pinch off the flowering parts? Should I harvest the plant before it gets bitter or something? Help!
Thank you very much. I was so worried! As my mint is in a container, I think I will cut off the flowers. Can the flowers be used the same way as the leaves, like in a tea?
Self-seeding means that the seeds come off the flowers and plant themselves nearby, thus creating more plants. As mint is known for spreading, sometimes a person may not want more mint.
