O My Harvest Time!

There are so many delicious things in our yards right now that I thought I would share what was filling our harvesting baskets Wednesday! And what were we doing with all these herbs you ask? Wendy and I were blending some wonderful fresh teas for our garden club social. We just had a blast! We took all of the fresh herbs with us and chopped them all up into a bunch of different teapots to make some fun different blends... and they were soooooo yummy! :)

Bee balm
Blackberry leaf
Chive stalks and flowers
Comfrey
Mugwort
Nettles
Oregano
Oregano (golden)
Parsley
Peppermint (chocolate)
Raspberry leaf
Sage (garden)
St. John's Wort
Thyme (creeping)

If you'd like tips on their medicinal benefits, check each of them out at botanical.com
I think there might have been more, but that's what I can recall right now!
Try your own fresh blend from your yard with whatever you have on hand!
Happy sampling!
Val :)
