Wishing for a dry spell

While we’re trying to dry out ourselves, we harvested two sets of items this week that also need drying. Our garlic harvest is air-drying in the shade and our herbs are electric-drying in the food dehydrator this week.
The herbs are calendula, yarrow, and plantain. All useful for making your own medicines.
