I’m planning on making some fireweed jelly- has anyone made it before? Any health benefits in eating fireweed??

First time harvesting my 2 year old sage plant and attempting to dry it all. How did I do? How long should I keep it hung?

Very leggy and starting to fall over. Can I prune it back down or will it just die? I’d like to get it a little more short and bushy if that’s still possible.

I'm conducting my masters thesis in the Lebanese University, and i really need some help!, if you are from Lebanon, and you live in Lebanon, help me in filling this survey : https://forms.gle/uTXD9JXdRFbFqo5k6

it's about wild plants knowledge in Lebanon, like our beloved zaatar, and many more! all the information will be used for statistical studies only in an anonymous way. the aim is to help protect these wild plant knowledge and conserve the unique nature of Lebanon.

my aim is 300 answer! ik we can do it! relaying on you brothers and sisters!

Tried eggs with salt separately with rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano, basil, Thai basil, chives, lavender and dill.
The best eggs were: a mix of dill and thyme with a bit of Parmesan cheese and black pepper.. yum!! Cooked in butter and added a splash of whole milk.

Looking for recipes to use these herbs in growing. First time growing anything ever and it’s fun!

Excuse the bad photos. My Rosemary’s got some yellow leaves, Google suggested over watering/poor soil drainage but I wondered if Reddit had any other options. I personally do suspect it’s over watering

Hiii I bought some teas from turkey but I kinda forgot some of their names and uses. So if anyone would be nice enough to help, I would really appreciate it!

I don't know about yall but I purposefully end up with huge amounts of basil. This is how I processed a bunch of lemon basil today.

Trimmed, deleafed, washed, chopped, flowers put out to dry (for seed collection), chopped basil now in dehydrator. Apology for kid friendly pics, was sending to my mom.

I thought I got rid of the spider mites but it looks past saving at this point. I even saw a caterpillar on it this morning. All my other herbs seem to be doing ok though.

So I’ve been taking methadone (AI overview for those who don’t know : Methadone is a long-acting synthetic opioid medication used primarily to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and occasionally to manage severe chronic pain)

so I’ve been taking it for 2 years now and I’ve gradually gone from 90mg to 68 in the last few months. I’m trying to get off the medication since I’m now sober from drugs and alcohol. I’ve been drinking tea for a long time and have always liked Chamomile and its slight calming effects. I’ve been doing some research and I’ve heard valerian root and blue lotus tea can help with sleep and I currently struggle with insomnia. I usually take 5-10 mg of melatonin and magnesium oxide before bed to help me sleep but now I wanna try valerian root tea and blue lotus. Can anyone tell me if they’ve taken these herbs before while on an opioid medication? Thanks.

P.S. just for tonight I’m only drinking about 1gram until I get some reliable advice. Thanks for reading. Have a good night.

From garden to freezer. I used toasted pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts. And I ended up adding too much salt and garlic. I really need a damn food processor of some sort.
