My garden is really taking off. I’ve started cutting herbs and hanging them to try. I use them for teas, seasoning and bath soak mixes. And of course I have my helpers out with me.

It’s blueberry season In MI. While we may not be wild foraging them, we’re out picking them at a local farm.

My raised beds are full of soil and ready for plants. Now I just have to wait until frost advisories go away.

You never know what you’ll find out in the woods. Stumbled upon Jack in the Pulpit and some honeysuckle.
Thanks to the few who joined me for my
Walk 💜

Wonderful resource on IDing trees it’s definitely not my strong suit so love a quick reference for trees in my area

Meet the mighty tree species that clean our air, protect our water and provide habitat for the wildlife all around us!

While exploring this weekend I found skunk cabbage for the first time ever! Sadly pink leaves were gone and only green remain.

So cool!

Sugared botanicals! 🌺🌿🧚‍♀️

In my cookbook, Preserving the Seasons: A Guide to Canned, Jammed, Frozen, Dehydrated, Freeze-Dried, Quick Pickled and Infused Produce, Herbs and Flowers, I share how to make sugared petals, herbs and flowers that will store for several months!

They can be used to decorate cakes, pies and cupcakes and make the prettiest garnish for desserts.

You should make some. Get my book! 👊💗

Use the link in my bio, find it at your favorite bookstore or library or order online through various retailers.

Is there anything better than getting your toes in the dirt? I think not!
