Harvested these beauties today. Some of them will become a salve, the rest will be dried for tea. Calendula is one of my favorites. Everything about it makes me smile - love the sunny orange flowers, the absolutely unique fragrance, even the sticky residue it leaves on my fingers…it never fails to brighten my day 😊

Tulsi season is finally here y’all! 🙌🏻 I was afraid this cool spring was gonna stunt the growth of my plants, but warmer temperatures and lots of rain have kicked them into gear! I’ll be harvesting this week 😊

I've been working on building this soil for five years = 5 years of composting, cover cropping, hand weeding (so much weeding😟), mulching, soil testing,...In that time it has gone from compacted, low fertility red clay and rocks to rich, fertile nutrient-dense soil. It is a LOT of hard work, but it is so worth it in the end. No chemicals, no shortcuts. But the end result is healthy soil, and healthy soil grows healthy plants!

Edited to add: Here's where we started (after we picked up about a million rocks, give or take 😁)

Harvesting some gorgeous calendula this morning! The sun is out after all the rain this week and it kinda feels like a sauna out here 😅

The first calendula bloom of the season 😍 It would be hard to overstate the importance of this beauty in the herbal apothecary. Need a salve for burns, bruises, cuts, or poorly healing wounds? Need a tea to help with gut health? Need an antiviral tincture with immunostimulating properties? Need to activate tissue regeneration and epithelial tissue development? Something to help with mucous membrane inflammation? Calendula’s got you - for these things and much more. It also adds color and flavor to food. Calendula is a must have 😊 Hoping for a bountiful harvest this season!

California poppy is starting to bloom, and I harvested a bunch of marshmallow leaf this week, along with red clover blossoms and some arnica. Nothing has kicked into high gear yet, but it’s getting closer…this is the calm before the real chaos 😊

More volunteers! This is licorice growing with the squash. Plants just keep randomly showing up everywhere 😁 For me, licorice is the perfect example of why you should try things for yourself and not just take other people’s word for things. I don’t like the taste of licorice - or fennel, or aniseed - it’s all a big nasty yuck to me! But licorice doesn’t taste like licorice 🤷🏼‍♀️ It really just tastes sweet in my experience. It makes my daily cold infusion of marshmallow root taste better. It sweetens some not so great tasting herbal teas. And a little goes a long way…too much can be cloying. So these few volunteers are more than enough for me!
