Three Hawks Herbals

FERMENTATION DAY!!!

Yes, it's not the traditional method of using a crock, but it's SO much easier! Started both Salsa Verde and Sauerkraut using delicious organic vegetables from my Late Bloom Farm CSA. It's been a few years since I've done any fermentation and I'm really looking forward to enjoying it Good for my digestion, immunity and mood! (Because yummy things make me happy!)

I'll cover it with a towel and leave it be, taking a p*ek each day to be sure everything looks ok (and because I think it's fun to watch the air locks bubble).

Sometimes it's the little things...a nice distraction. Be well! 🌹

Gratitude to the rain!

After weeks of storms appearing on the forecast and disappearing before they actually materialize, it's beautiful to finally get a substantial amount of rain. Today's goal - to get the 2 rain barrels full again. Have all kinds of buckets out to catch as much as possible.

Why the desperation? The Three Hawks Herbals gardens are sustained with this water. We try VERY hard to not use the spigot.

How serious are we about saving water? Very.

We have a new water heater in the house. It takes a full gallon of water before it runs almost hot from the tap. Instead of letting the cold water run down the drain, we catch it in jugs which are used to water the green house, elderberry pots and make comfrey tea for feeding the garden.

Poor baby. Please leave nature as nature intended. She knows what she's doing.

Thank you to Zoe, Becky and the Friends of East Kingston Public Library for all the work they put into making the East Kingston Summer Market such a wonderful event! The storms held off until long after we were all back home.

It's really fun to participate in such a community centered event! Appreciation to all those who came out to visit.

Solstice is always for Sister time.

So how special to spend the afternoon with my friend from childhood Betsy Kunz. She is one of my wild woman tribe - someone with whom there's no need for pretenses, who radiates positivity, never takes herself too seriously, can be super silly and literally make you laugh until you p*e your pants. She's also someone I don't get to see nearly enough so spending the afternoon with her left my heart happy.

Thank you Bets! Lunch soon! ❤️🌹❤️

Deer ticks come in more than one size. Deer tick nymphs, or teenage ticks, are only the size of a poppy seed. Make sure you look closely when you do your tick check! Learn more at www.maine.gov/lyme.

If you are enjoying Woodsom with your dogs, please keep them leashed until after nesting season. Thank you! 🐦❤️

New signs at Woodsom Farm have been temporally installed to remind people that threatened grassland breeding birds are actively nesting in the tall grass; dogs and people cutting through the grass can disturb nests. Visitors can help by enjoying the Farm from the trails and keeping their pets from running into the grass.

Mass Audubon considers Woodsom Farm one of the best grassland bird breeding sites in New England. Breeding lasts from mid-May to early August, after which the fields may be mowed (and signs removed). Bobolinks and Eastern Meadowlarks call Woodsom Farm home and migrate from South America every Spring to the Northern tier of the U.S. and southern Canada.

Signs were generously donated by the Lake Gardner Improvement Association and are a project of the Open Space, Natural Resources, and Trails Committee.

The beauty of Tulsi Rose Tea. All grown here at Three Hawks Herbals with love, without the use of chemical pesticides. Although not certified organic, we do follow those practices.

This tea (really a tisane because there it does not include Camellia sinensis/tea leaves) will be available at the Her Wild Soul - Wild Mystic Events Summer Solstice Bazaar a week from today at the Kimball Jenkins Estate in Concord NH. 🌹❤️🌹
