Today I cut up the big stalk of Mullein that I found yesterday. I cut all the individual leaves off of it and laid them down in a single layer inside of my herb dryer. Then I cut off the seed pods and I'm drying those too, so I can collect the seeds to plant next year. Once I was done, I threw the stalk into the compost pile. We'll see if anything comes along and eats it, haha.
Then, I checked on my yarrow flowers I had drying from a few days ago. They were finally done. I thought for sure I'd have enough for a couple jars, one for tea and one for infusing. Nope. Just one for tea it is! I'll pick some more to make a salve out of later.
So now I've got a canning jar full of dried yarrow and tomorrow I think I'll pick some mint and some raspberry leaves to dry so I can make a good tea blend with it.
