RE: My garden. A Positivity Challenge (day 2) and Tranquility Blog
Why thank you! I actually never had The artichokes before. A friend gave them to me so this will be a new experience. Said they grow like potatoes and also grow a flower similar to a sunflower I think she said.
I can understand drying for storing but some things don't seem right to dry. Possibly because I have never done it lol. I will be drying as much spices as I can, like parsley, sweet basil, spicy basil, chives, garlic chives, spearmint, chocolate mint, strawberry mint etc. I love me some fresh spices lol.
I have trees that I am growing as well. I will probably update within another month of how everything is all growing.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting ^_^
I that case I feel honour bound to give you a health warning on the artichokes. The are delicious... but... how do I say this politely... they give people the worst wind ever!! Yes - they get really tall, have lovely flowers... and if you happen to have guinea-pigs as pets, they adore the leaves!
Yum- you'll have your herb store well stocked for the winter. I've got some chocolate mint dried - love it! Never heard of strawberry mint though- I'm going to have to check that out. I thin mum and dad used a dehydrator for the chunkier things like the beans.
Looking forward to your next update- have fun!

HAHAHA I will keep that in mind, maybe use that as a weapon :p
The strawberry mint smells so friggin gooooood.
We have a dehydrator here as well. Good thing cause I do not have the room or system to hang everything out to dry.
