What a glorious summer day on the farm. Today Ian, Steve and Jacqui harvested mugwort, nettle and borage. The borage was amazing and just hummed with the millions of bees all amongst it . Shame they are not ours as the honey would be amazing. We are going to establish some hives next year and will be attending a biodynamic bee keeping course. Made quite a few litres of assorted tinctures, just as well as it's herbalists open day in a few weeks, our first ever open day !
Well, not too much work done today, aside from some weeding. We packed that up mid afternoon to join the fabulous party that Dawn & Mark throw every year. People camp and it goes on till the early hours. There are bands and a DJ and an open mike for anyone who wants to have a go at entertaining. Steve was a hit with his slide guitar! Off to give a talk now to the Embody group, they want to know all about the work we do at the herb farm !
