I am still developing my pages. I will be putting out information on herbs, including recipes and medicinal uses. I will also tell you which herbs will attract fairies, hummingbirds and butterflies.
I would like to give credit when I can for the lovely artwork. If you know of an artist that has not been acknowledged, please e-mail me.

TIP ON HARVESTING HERBS.

Have you tried preserving your herbs. They are so expensive at the store, and yet so easy to grow. Always cut your herbs early in the morning on a calm day. The winds and sun can reduce the amount of oil in your herbs.

You can gently wash your herbs and hang them to dry in a dark place (so they do not keep up photo-synthesis) and in a few days you will have dried herbs to use for a long time. You can also preserve your herbs in vinegar. Many people make the mistake of thinking they are flavoring vinegar, and then try to figure out what to do with all that vinegar. The idea is to preserve your herbs in vinegar, which will extract the flavorful oil. Use lots and lots of the herb, and just enough vinegar to cover it. Let it stand for several weeks and then strain your vinegar, which should only have a hint of the vinegar flavor, and lots of the herb flavor.
