Oh I see. I use all fresh ingredients for fire cider with the intention of using it medicinally. It has horseradish, ginger, onion, garlic, caryenne, lemon, among other things. I make a lot of oil infusions too but I use them for topical applications like salves and body oils.

So you make a fire oil? I'm not sure how well that would work with the ingredients I use for fire cider.

Still no edit button, so I must live with the typo 🙃

I pulled just about everything except the greens and carrots. I'm going to put up a cover over the greens - but my will to garden is waning 😆

We are supposed to get a freeze tomorrow night, so today I'll be busy harvesting everything that's left in the garden 🌱🙃.

Doing some propagating for my indoor herb garden 🌱.

#herbs
#gardening
Two small glass jars on a patio table. The smallest jar has several cuttings in water for propagating. The larger jar has a holy basil cutting in water that I'm taking smaller cuttings from. The cuttings include rosemary, thyme, basil, and holy basil.

Coneflowers don't usually flower the first year so what you are seeing is very normal.
