Lilly of the Valley. Best flower aroma in the world, has a long vase life, and a long bloom time. And so beautiful and delicate! Invasive but if you need a shade ground cover that is contained... It is also a medicinal. Traditionally used for heart conditions anxiety, and epilepsy. Roots harvested when blooming at the right moon phase are used to prepare tinctures. It is a poisonous plant, so the dosage needs to be just right. There is an old remedy called "капли Зеленина", it has it in the ingredients along with belladonna (which is also poisonous) and valerian root. Used for high anxiety and chronic heart instability, can also help with nerve pain.

The white mulberry tree is absolutely covered with blooms this year! Makes me very happy especially because the rest of the fruit trees had very little to no bloom.

"Gardening is not work"
"When growing your own, everything you grow yourself doesn't have to come from somewhere else. It is coming from somewhere else is the problem. That's where the transport, the pollution, the packaging, the waste is all occur, so if you walk out of your door and pick an apple from your own tree as opposed to one from New Zealand..."

The honey is back in stock! This summer I had 3 hives that I split from one huge swarm of wild bees that came to live with me in 2023, and they produced outstanding honey, all different colors and flavors, and all delicious, I couldn't pick a favorite!
I have pint and quart sizes available right now and in a couple of weeks, I will have small and tiny gift sizes jars made. I hope you will be able to order, because it's truly is best honey!

Viburnum. Such a magnificent plant! It's so beautiful all year long, first with stunning white umbrellas of flowers, then the scarlet red almost transparent berries, which are extraordinarily bitter! Remember, though, bitter is good! Bitterness on your tongue evokes digestive juices and bile to be produced. Once you really taste it and allow yourself to like it, it becomes almost addictive, I can't pass this plant without eating one! And those berries will hang on the branches all winter long! The best part is the wine made with this impossible bitterness is absolutely extraordinary!!🍷

That was such good fun! 1st time growing Lemongrass from seeds and make these soup bundles, which I will freeze-dry. And it's just such a pretty plant with so many health benefits!
Antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-tumor.
Traditionally used for GI issues, fever, neurological problems, and lowering cholesterol. Particularly suited for children.
Adds a marvelous flavor and aroma to teas, soups, broths etc. A staple in Thi and Vietnamese cuisine.

Crimson Bee Balm, Monarda. Aroma and flavor if the beebalm tea is impossible to describe, amazing to experience. "Monarda is used internally for indigestion, intestinal cramps, nausea, flatulence, fevers, influenza, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, sore throats, chronic and systemic candida infections, urinary tract infections, nerve tonic, and general relaxant."

My version of Bread & Butter pickles. Less processing, less vinegar, way less sugar. The first time I made them last year and they were amazing. The base recipe is from "foolproof preserving" book.

Trying new methods of growing, timing and preserving the squash. That light green one is unknown in the States. It is a summer squash called Marrow. Slightly different taste and texture than any other summer squash.vi love it best. I will save seeds and offer them for sale on my website if anyone would want to try.

Red currants! All my currants started to ripen, but the reds are always first! They are more beautiful than gems, absolutely magnificent! Since I made a ton of black currant and other mixed berries jams last year, and we didn't go through much of it, I will be making juice to freeze for winter smoothies and wine for myself. These berries make fantastic wine!

Rosa Rugosa! It took a few years for the plants to establish, but now it's blooming from mid-June to late fall and produces the most nutritious and very large fruits! Its petals are being freeze-dried and I will be using them in my tea blends later as well as the rose hips! Besides that, it's just stunning all summer!
