Beau-teas!

Magical Elder

The plant dryer is back in action, nettles, mint, and currently elderflowers and rose petals in anticipation of a new season of herb teas.

Cordials also infusing, and nettle and elder fizzes on the brew...when sunny breaks between repeated thunderstorms and heavy downpours allow the delicate blooms to dry enough for harvest.

Mayberries nearly finished now, strawberries and cherries starting to garnish breakfasts.
Why does anyone neglect to have edibles in a garden, when such treasures are easy to cultivate, and it's impossible to buy this kind of ripe freshness!
Some apple trees have nicely developing fruits, so fingers crossed for a reasonable harvest this year...promises of peaches too for the first time in 3 summers!
