Stocking up, winter prep, apocalypse prep - sort of all of the above. The weather turned to rain, colder temps and a frost warning. I filled my dehydrator with feverfew. It did exceptionally well this year. Some of the other herbs did not. I was hoping for more fresh mullein, but it's not looking good. While I was out there, I cut all remaining tops of my zinnias and brought them in to dry good for next winter. I made a batch of homemade elderberry syrup, and this time with rosehips in it. I will see how long it lasts with just myself and my husband (girls are terrible at a regular daily dose). I may double it next time.
