• Tea bushes.

    dirt under my nails, grow your own, plants, tea

    They are bigger, but not huge. One died, so there are only three. I haven’t tried harvesting anything yet. But I’m continually delighted when they blossom.

    Buds are forming.

    I know they are camellias. But, it tickles me to see the proof of it.

    I took this last September.

    I think this is about a quarter of the nuts that we will get from our bushes. The rest are still green.

    I think we need to plant some straight into the ground around the rest of the border of the labyrinth. It looks like they do best when messed with the least.

    Planning to get this is the ground soon. I’m very pleased with myself.

    I finally cut this. The bundle of stems is about the size of my calf and the actual bouquet is as wide as my chest. There is nowhere in our house with enough space to hang it.

    I don’t have a clue what to do with it.

    I have dried herbs in the past. But, I frequently leave them to get dusty rather than actually use them.

    I, also, know that oregano is more flavorful dried than fresh.

    Maybe I’ll spend some TV time tonight breaking it down into more rational sizes.

    New rule for Kitty.  Putting it here so I can’t possibly forget.

    Beans get frozen.  ONLY frozen.  I have ruined 2 seasons of Hamby beans trying to keep them in jars.
