  Does anyone grow their own herbs?

  by scootergirl in

  2. friends

  i am looking for some help regarding harvesting herbs (yes......real herbs!)..

  i know w/basil, it must be blanched for 1-2 seconds and then dried before it can be frozen.

  oregano, i believe has to be dried.

  Hi Scooter girl;I missed this thread!

  I've been growing herbs for a long time now-my greatest friend is a herbalist who's always sharing info with me..I've been drinking Ladys mantle(Alchemilla mollis/vulgaris)tea for the last few months as I was in a lot of pain most of the time (menstrual/mid month that seems to give no respite,nausea,passing out etc)I have noticed a lot of imorovement lately.One German herbalist was quoted as saying if most women drank it- all the time the need for hysterectomies and hormone treatment would be cut by a third...!

  I also like finding other plants to eat for a change from the herbs.

  Fushia berries( jelly)

  Marigolds,rose petals,nasturtiums,carnations, marsh mallow flowers,chive heads,scented geraniums and myrtle(take off green bit first)

  The salads look really beautiful!

  As for drying;keep the herbs out of the sun;warmth,darkness and dryness are needed;if you're drying small quantities just lie them on some muslin or brown paper (jab some holes in it)lie this over a 'frame'-rack from the oven will do...store them whole-don't crush;in dark glass;if you see any condensation you'll know they needed a little more drying.

  Good luck(edited for a sp.mistake!)

  maybe it's just my observation, but wts magazines and books are not printed on re-cycled paper.

  can this be proven to be true?

  do any ex-bethelite know this for a fact?

  I remember asking an Elder this a long time ago and he replied that the reason for this was that the quality was'nt good enough; (and that it did'nt matter anyway as Jehovah understood, and he would restore an earthly...blah,blah...........)

  Hi Simon,

  it's a standing joke that if the children go out with me we may not get home.My daughter navigates for me now ;and as for coming back...I have to turn the map to face the way we're going!

  So I may see you both at Emans bbq-maybe not...The worst thing is that i'll argue i'm right and really believe it!

  could you leave me some sort of trail??

  I'm really glad your son's having such a good time!

  My daughter (15)had her hair cut the other day;looked pretty fabulous and funky!My husband and I caught her trying to neaten it up later and he spent the whole day telling her to make it scruff it up and asking 'what kind of teenager do you call yourself...!'

  Teenagers eh ??!!

  (we'll have to watch her!)

  At least her music was at the required teenage volume tonight!

  They do all seem to be more outgoing now.

  Though no2 needs no more encouragement..

  She recently abseiled facing the floor from a tower and took the brakes off her bike to make her stomach lurch!

  May god help me when she reaches her teenage years!

  We recently had a garden party for them all and 30 friends;bought alot of pizzas;oh, and don't forget stuff for the veggies-I did !
