Happy Herb Harvesting Season! What herbs are you drying this year? 🌿

@MeganB Whoa- that is an abundance of bees you have there in Florida! :honeybee: The first article looks like a very handy one for anyone who wants to attract more buzzy friends into their garden- since you have a wildflower mix, it’s probably safe to bet that you’ll have at least a few of the plants on this list! :bouquet: :blush: May there be many happy (and friendly!) bees coming to visit you soon to pollinate your plants! :sunflower:


@lisa67 I’m not an expert with feverfew (maybe @Mistress_Of_Herbs has some ideas? She has so many great herbal recipes she’s shared!) but lemonbalm and mint both make fabulous decorations when they are sugared- both are super tasty and beautiful on cookies/cakes/pastries! Both can also be dried and used in tea blends- lemon balm is one of my favorite relaxing teas- my herbalist teacher calls it the “herb that gladens the heart”. It’s great for fending off the winter blues in the cold months.

I hope you can find some wonderful ways to enjoy your garden’s bounty, Lisa- good luck and have fun (and feel free to keep us updated- I’d love to hear what you do with them!) :green_heart: :blush:


@Isabella13 I feel you about the love/hate relationship with summer- the gardens are loaded with goodies, but it feels too hot and humid to be able to be out there enjoying them :sweat_smile: And whoa, you already have elderberries!?! I’ll have to check our small elderflower here- I think it’s just barely flowering right now haha. Sounds like you have some great plans- good luck and happy harvest! :black_circle: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:


@Ostara You’re welcome, Ostara- happy crafting! :grinning: :two_hearts:
