Berzerk Weather

 

Our weather has been bouncing from one extreme to another.  I'm excited to say I had a day to dry laundry out on the clothesline, and even dried bedding, and more.

However, the 70°F quickly moved into a very bad thunderstorm last night, where some areas nearby had hail as well.  This morning?  A brisk 20°F over night.  Ha ha ha!  Oh boy.  Winter just doesn't want to leave.  

Despite the back and forth extremes, my green onions look great in my herb garden, and the thyme is springing back to life.




Something fun to share.  Although the photo is not that great, they are herbal themed stickers.  They are for my new "Herbal Remedies" Journal.  I have a binder with recipes, but when I am experimenting or trying new oils to infuse, with new herbs, the journal will keep me organized with note-taking.

I honestly, do not have one friend who even grows an herb garden for culinary reasons.  It's becoming harder and harder to talk to others who make herbal salves, tinctures, teas, oxymels, vinegars, and such.  

Heck I have two chive plants that I put in pots last year, hoping to find them a new home (they were volunteer plants that grew up in other parts of the herb garden), and they are still sitting in pots.  I am going to look into area community "food" gardens to donate them to this spring.

Are you an herb grower?  Do you make your own herbal concoctions?  Are you a culinary herb grower, tea brewer, or salves and tinctures?
