The late spring picking begins.
Life has returned to normal. I have finally got time to collect herbs. Such a good year for Hawthorn and other white blossoms like Dogwood/Cornus. .
So here are Hawthorn / Crategeus flowers; Black currant/Ribes nigrum leaves and Catnep/ Nepeta in place to dry for Tasty herbal teas.

Great to see Helpful herbs used as market publicity.
I'm busy getting legistics sorted out.
Helpful herbs just got 6 products their Cosmetic product safety regulation certificates.
Lots of paper work, but they are deemed safe, with the normal warnings.
So Comfey, Marigold Golden and Bright orange, Chickweed, Chamomile and Lemon balm ointments were re named as Salves on my website. Now they will be renamed as Body butters.

A quick heads-up for anyone who enjoys a local market.

The market will run from 10am to 2pm, with further dates planned for the first Sunday of each month over the summer.

Local market days are back!

Here's one of the machines speeding up transplanting Bergonias. We also saw a seed sowing machine and a machine planting Lavender cuttings from Kenya. All in peat. They have a high success rate of taking.
