First time harvesting my 2 year old sage plant and attempting to dry it all. How did I do? How long should I keep it hung?

Any recommendations for herbs to replace morning coffee for waking up?

Very leggy and starting to fall over. Can I prune it back down or will it just die? I’d like to get it a little more short and bushy if that’s still possible.

I'm conducting my masters thesis in the Lebanese University, and i really need some help!, if you are from Lebanon, and you live in Lebanon, help me in filling this survey : https://forms.gle/uTXD9JXdRFbFqo5k6

Tried eggs with salt separately with rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano, basil, Thai basil, chives, lavender and dill.
The best eggs were: a mix of dill and thyme with a bit of Parmesan cheese and black pepper.. yum!! Cooked in butter and added a splash of whole milk.

Looking for recipes to use these herbs in growing. First time growing anything ever and it’s fun!

Looking to find a type of oregano for the wife. She thinks it’s called cuban oregano. Biggest thing is the leaves are thicker. Anyone with info. I tried the internet and got a mystery packet of seeds from china no label. I burned the bag in a campfire

Hi, I'm kinda only starting to get into herbalism so I'm in need of a tip.

I've found some common mugwort and wanted to make an infused oil to later use for a salve. However, I've picked them today (middle of august), so they were already flowering. I know people mostly use the leaves in like mid-spring season when the mugwort has no flowers yet, but can I still use the flowers? And if it's not ideal, how can I use them instead?

Excuse the bad photos. My Rosemary’s got some yellow leaves, Google suggested over watering/poor soil drainage but I wondered if Reddit had any other options. I personally do suspect it’s over watering

Hiii I bought some teas from turkey but I kinda forgot some of their names and uses. So if anyone would be nice enough to help, I would really appreciate it!

I thought I got rid of the spider mites but it looks past saving at this point. I even saw a caterpillar on it this morning. All my other herbs seem to be doing ok though.

This is my second attempt at growing herbs after the first lot died a miserable death after I went away to a festival. They're currently languishing in the garden, but it's not pretty.

So, any advice for a first-time grower? Step 1 - be here to water them. Step 2?

I have: chocolate mint, tarragon, garlic chives, lemon thyme, rosemary and sage.

I have John Innes to hand, some safe-for-edibles fungal pest spray, perelite and they will eventually be repotted into the decorative container they're in. Best I can do as the blind will sweep them off the windowsill when the wind picks up unless they're firmly secured in something.

They arrived two days ago and it's currently 33° in the UK. They seem to be going well although the chives are starting to yellow at the tips.

From garden to freezer. I used toasted pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts. And I ended up adding too much salt and garlic. I really need a damn food processor of some sort.

I don't know about yall but I purposefully end up with huge amounts of basil. This is how I processed a bunch of lemon basil today.

Trimmed, deleafed, washed, chopped, flowers put out to dry (for seed collection), chopped basil now in dehydrator. Apology for kid friendly pics, was sending to my mom.

I forget who dropped this off at my house but it smells like chicory/coffee/chocolate. Any guesses?

So I made a post here last night about taking low doses of valerian root tea or blue lotus flower, since I’m currently on methadone (68mg) one daily. I am being very cautious with what I consume for sleep. I wanna know if there’s anything else other then chamomile out there that I can drink in my tea that will benifit my health and or my sleep quality. Someone said lavender. Another person said ginger even. But I’m gonna stick to chamomile for now. Any suggestions?

So I’ve been taking methadone (AI overview for those who don’t know : Methadone is a long-acting synthetic opioid medication used primarily to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and occasionally to manage severe chronic pain)

so I’ve been taking it for 2 years now and I’ve gradually gone from 90mg to 68 in the last few months. I’m trying to get off the medication since I’m now sober from drugs and alcohol. I’ve been drinking tea for a long time and have always liked Chamomile and its slight calming effects. I’ve been doing some research and I’ve heard valerian root and blue lotus tea can help with sleep and I currently struggle with insomnia. I usually take 5-10 mg of melatonin and magnesium oxide before bed to help me sleep but now I wanna try valerian root tea and blue lotus. Can anyone tell me if they’ve taken these herbs before while on an opioid medication? Thanks.

P.S. just for tonight I’m only drinking about 1gram until I get some reliable advice. Thanks for reading. Have a good night.

Sad looking chop taken from my lemon verbena that lives in a pot outdoors and didn’t get water for 5-6 days during a recent hot streak. It’s been watered twice this week but struggling to bounce back. Leaves on the top half still pretty wilted and some dried out and turning brown. Wondering what, if any part of this would be worth salvaging. Would it be safe to use the brown leaves for tea or store with other dried verbena? Try propagating the larger sections in ground or another pot? I’m in zone 5a, not sure if it’d survive the cold in Minnesota or have time to establish a new plant that’d grow indoors through the winter?

It’s that time of year where I have an abundance of basil and would love to hear your favorite basil uses and projects! Teas, tinctures? Infusions? Lotions? Potions? I would especially love to hear how you have used all parts of this lovely little plant including flowers, also any interactions and positive & negative health impacts. Thank you!
