This is the perfect day
to gather and dry some herbs
from my little Tea Garden.
I am inspired by this little book
from my bookshelf.
Oh! It looks like someone else is doing a littleharvesting, also!

I have been drying sage and mint. And they are just wonderful when you make some tea :-)
We have the same dehydrator - I bought it at a garage sale for $2.00 awesome bargain!
My pineapple sage hasn't flowered yet...what pretty flowers it has.
I am looking forward to drying the rest of my herbs.
Blessings,
Maria
PS: Thank you for sharing :-D
What a fun idea! I just harvested some herbs the other day and have them hanging up to dry. This is the first year that I have planted Calendula and I am harvesting that also to make some salve with.
Blessings!

Oh everything looks wonderful. I was able to do this last year and I had a wonderful harvest for tea when I had my little garden and it is so hot and sunny here I was able to dry everything really quickly outside. Just the other day I washed and dryed one of Anna's little shirts outside would you believe it dried in 10 minutes that is how hot the sun is here....Enjoy your garden may you have a wonderful bountiful harvest with tea that lasts thru the winter to come ~Love Heather
Wow, your herbs are many and varied, and the pics are fabulous! I grow some of the same ones you do, but it's always fun to see what's going on in other gardens. I can't wait to hear about the tea blends. Thanks for sharing!
Raeann,
What a delightful cup of tea! Please let us know how your blends turn out!
Blessings,
Gina
PS I couldn't fix my SH&H blog so started over here.
What an absolutely beautiful garden!! I am always in awe of successful garderners:)
Heading over to the garden (and maybe a sneak bit in the pantry as well...haven't been there in awhile)!
Raeann,
I want to formally invite you to my first Cottage Giveaway on my new blog. I hope you stop in and enter. :)
