Share the Wealth II - Second Installment of a New Party!!

 Welcome to the second installment of a brand new party!! Share the Wealth II !

I love working in my yard and fixing up my house. I follow blogs to get ideas for seasonal decorating and cooking and just enjoying. And I know there are way more out there than I've connected with! So let's get together!

On the first and 15th every month a new party will start and run until the day before the next one is to start (14th and last day of the month).

Harvesting and Drying Herbs

There several ways to dry herbs. But before you start to dry, you need to harvest and prep them. Harvest timing is really important. Keep reading for information on drying your own herbs.

The Garden Just Keeps Going!!

 My garden is still producing lots of green beans and current tomatoes. The cherry plum tree is loaded and starting to ripen - and these strawberries!! They just keep coming!! It's so awesome to walk into my backyard and pick dinner!

 

Growing Lavender

Lavender. 

Who doesn't love the look and aroma of these spiked flowers. They represent purity, serenity, grace and devotion. They're fragrance can fill a room with quiet sweetness. 

 I love to cook with lavender. You can use any type, but English lavenders have the best oils and aromatics for cooking. It can be used in sweet or savory dishes. 

Lavender has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. A little lavender rubbed on a burn or a cut for a little relief and healing. 

It's great for keeping away mosquitos. Keep a plant on or near your deck or patio and rub some flowers on your skin. Mosquitos will move on!

Happy 4th - Late!

 Did everyone have a great 4th of July? I sure did! I was so excited to have people over and enjoy the fruits of my gardening labor. It was awesome. We ate berries from the garden. Enjoyed sitting on the new lawn. It was fabulous. Hope yours was too!
