Harvesting

More strawberries are coming in. I tasted a cherry today but it's not quite there yet. Hopefully we get to them before the birds do this year.

                         But what I do have a ton of is herbs. I harvested some today and got them ready for drying, in the basement. I'm not sure yet what we'll do with them- soap? homemade face masks and hair rinses? sachets?

                           
                               Let me know if you have any great ideas. I've got lots of rosemary,

                                        
                                          lemon balm

                                       
                                               chamomille

 
                                      and lavender.

                                 I have no real system for drying right now, I just hang my bundles off stray nails all over the basement. It really wouldn't be that hard to put two nails together and hang a drying line from them, but I just haven't done it yet.

Now I'm off to consult my herbal books to look for projects...
