It's about that time

To get ready for harvest. I've been buying jars for the last couple of weeks (with $3.00 off coupons) and I have already made some delicious jam with berries I got at the farmers market this past Saturday.

First time ever making Blackberry and Raspberry Jam and boy is it good. This sure will keep us for the coming year. 

I am still working on herb related things too. This evening I got a small project done that I had wanted to do on Saturday. I picked all of my peppermint, picked off the leaves and stuffed them into pint jars then covered them in grapeseed oil. All I will have to do is let them sit (out of the sunlight) for about 4 to 8 weeks to infuse and I will have my very own peppermint oil. One whiff of all those leaves stuffed in the jar was just about enough to clear my sinuses so imagine what the oil is going to be like once it is done.

It's nearly eleven pm and I promised myself I would be in bed by ten thirty. So much for that.

Until next time.
