Organic turmeric from dads garden. Making it into a tincture (extract). Added a few mint leaves in. Wash, chop it up (skin on), put in jar, add solvent (in this case vodka) and leave it for at least a month to work its magic. I agitate it ever day. Turmeric has loads of benefits, but I’m particularly interested in its anti-inflammatory uses. Saving some to dry out as well and grind into powder.

Lemon drops. I must say, everything is struggling a bit in the heat. A pumpkin vine was actually incinerated on that crazy hot day last week. Hottest place on earth that day.

Made the best garden frittata tonight. The kids actually loved it also which you know...a meal time miracle when everyone loves it. Trying to make the most of the copious amounts of large zucchini we are picking daily.

Zucchini’s are so generous. I think I may have only planted yellow ones this year. These are growing in the hay bale garden and seem to be loving it.

From now on I’m only picking things that match. Today is blue day. Most days will be green day. Sometimes there will be yellow day. Not really, but I thought this bluish prettiness was a bit spesh.

Christmas present prep. Going to make some flavoured salts and rubs for gifts. This one has parsley, rosemary, lemon and onion. I’ll probably add onion powder. Any other ideas?

If your having a bad day can I suggest growing some fragrant herbs, wandering out to pick them, seeping them in hot water and sipping out of a pretty tea cup. Trust me. Your day will be better.
