July 19th, Blackberries, and then more Blackberries!


Wow, we have a lot of blackberries! This week I made pie, cobbler, smoothies and put quite a few away in the freezer.

I also harvested and dried some sage.

My peppermint is just beginning to flower and seed which marks the end of the peppermint harvest this year.

I also learned a lot of skin uses for lavender this week, so I'll be making up some lavender salve and oil soon.

It's a shame I'm allergic to blackberries, lol.

I had blackberries for breakfast this morning over waffles. YUM! I wish I had found them myself, though! Inspiring blog!
