We're deep into summer here in The US South and the gardens are in full swing! I'd love to see pictures of your garden and something new you learned this season. I learned that I can be victorious over the squash bugs.

@Paula Boggan Bread and cinnamon rolls are my big thing to bake for sure. I just made two more loaves again today because my boys love eating the bread with our homemade peanut butter.

Pickle time!

Do you pickle and if so, what's your favorite thing to pickle? These are pepperoncinis I just pickled. How many times can we say pickle? 😂

I've helped my parents pickle peppers before, I've never done it myself but the many times I have helped them I'm sure I could do it on my own.

Drying Herbs

I've cut rosemary, lavender, white sage, pineapple sage, and lemon verbena this morning. Some I'll use for tea or seasoning, the white sage for smudging. What's your favorite herb and how do you use it?

I like rosemary for my hair. I have to buy it because I can't seem to grow it.

@Paula Boggan I've heated it up in a pot with water and then let it cool and put it in a spray bottle and spray my hair on occasion. Is it better if it's oil?

Friday Forage!

Happy Friday, everybody! I'm picking muscadines today to sell, share, and eat. They're sooo sweet and delicious. What are you harvesting right now?
