Planted this last year and it feels so good to see it come back this year.

  • Different resources advocate for just leaves, or just flowers, or some combination of the two. Personally, the flavor is a little too oregano for my tastes BUT if you harvest the flower tubules it’s slightly sweeter. If you were to take those, put them in a loosely closed mason jar for 24 hours, and then dry them after that short fermentation period you can mix them with dried raspberry leaves for a faux earl grey blend (if that’s your jam).

    Even if it’s insignificant

    Keep up the great work! Even one plant can support dozens of species and thousands of individuals interacting around it, and ‘no single raindrop believes it caused the flood’.
