I learned how to make garlic oil the other night. Its actually very easy. Who'da thunk it? Now I just need to grow my own garlic or buy some organic, fresh garlic from a local source.
I also learned how to make a couple of herbal salves. I wish I had more time to experiment with other recipes. Next class we are doing an herbal walk to locate herbs in the wild. Then there will be another class where we will learn how to make tinctures. Ohhh I'm so excited!!!

That is pretty exciting! You should have lots of herbs growing wild on your property. That is one of the fun things about having a decent amount of land. =) Now is the time to plant garlic (Aug and sept) for next years harvest. It really is easy to grow. It likes light soil with lots of manure or compost.
Kateri - thanks for the advice. I will have to ask Darren if we can do that. We have an older gentleman who grows garlic not too far from us. Its suppose to be a rare type that his family brought over from somewhere, way back when of course. I bought a couple of Peterson Field Guides just for the purpose of locating herbs.
