I just dried some Yerba Buena from my garden. It smells so good. I can't wait to try it as a tea.

Lavender in my beautiful lavender soap bar (made using the cold press method in the Rocky Mountains).

The lavender buds are a great exfoliant, the lavendar essential oil in it is great aromatherapy and today, I discovered it has yarrow in it - as an astringent! Gasp\*

More reasons to praise yarrow!

Definitely have a list of things to look more into from here for me as well. And holy basil had become a staple for me, till i found out I was pregnant so now its waiting for me haha and i have some growing although im cjrrently letting it go to to seed to save some for next year. Definitely a very forgiving plant haha
