Harvesting culinary herbs today 🌿
Growing your own culinary herbs is super easy! Literally one pot of each herb will be enough until the next season.

Today harvested tons of oregano, chives, rosemary, sage, mint, and thyme. All of it is going into the dehydrator at the lowest temp to dry. I might use some of these herbs for a salt blend too.

⏩ You will probably see some version of these herbs for sale in my stand in June.

Do you grow your own culinary herbs and spices?

It's chive blossoms time to shine. Chive blossom infused apple cider vinegar is the perfect base for dressings! I adore this infusion!
Not only is the taste amazing, the blossoms themselves are high in Vitamin A, C, and K, as well as calcium and potassium. The blossoms are also useful is supporting our GIT.

The jasmine blossoms of my indoor garden were calling to be captured. I made a fresh jasmine, along with dried rose and lavender hydrosol with them. It smells beautiful ☺️

I am going to use this mini batch in a personal herbal body lotion.

Friday feels 🤍

Have you ever noticed that your plants leaves have folded inward, as if they were going to sleep as the daylight begins to fade? This is called nyctinasty. 

Plants due this to conserve energy, water and for protection. Pretty cool evolutionary selection and I ally kind of enjoy having the two different versions in one plant. 😊

This one was part of my bonsai kit....gonna have to figure out how to do this bonsai thing soon because this is a huge tree lol

Each year I spend an afternoon plucking all the lil lilac blossoms off the bloom and I don't hate it!

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) blossom honey in the works 🌼
Dandelion in general is such a great herb that we can ingest all of its parts. Not to mention the bees/other pollinators love them!
The blossoms are the most mild tasting part of the plant (especially if you remove the green sepals) and contain many vitamins and minerals. They are slightly diuretic and supportive of our elimination pathways.
Honey will be out in the stand next month ☺️

All the Alder catkins!!
Alnus rubra immature catkins are useful for digestion and skin ailments. They are astringent, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory.
They can be brewed as a tea however it is not my favourite lol
I like to use these in salves for skin conditions.
More commonly the bark and buds of alder are used medicinally.
