There is nothing more quaint than stopping at a roadside garden stand and being greeted by an adorable old dog like this one, his name is Chubs and quite photogenic and friendly. On a day-trip out to Fallbrook, Ca just 30 minutes inland from coastal North San Diego county sits “Diane’s Herb’s, Flowers & Things” where homegrown fresh and dried herbs, bath and beauty herbal products, vegetables and soaps are produced and grown on premises.
I came home with a carload of beets, lettuce, parsley, a bouquet of dried roses, a jar of honey and several bars of lavender soap. Did I mention the surprise at bargain prices for such quality products? Diane’s roadside shop is adorned with hanging herbs and roses drying upside down from the ceiling and hand painted garden signs everywhere. The “wildflower honey” seemed to have a different taste and aroma compared to clover honey, or maybe that was just my imagination. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and wondering if I should take my Chihuahuas along for the ride, I think they would like to meet Diane’s dog.
For both garden gurus and day trip enthusiasts alike, this is a wonderful place to visit in the San Diego region.
