I thought I'd share a little with you today about a new obsession of mine...herbs! Now, I've been in love with herbs in the kitchen for many years, but right now I'm learning about using herbs for medicinal purposes. As herbs are very powerful tools that should not be taken lightly, I have little to share with you other than my excitement for them. I'm currently exploring the world of tinctures and teas, in baby steps and with much guidance from books and experts. With garden planning just around the corner, I'm also starting to dream about what herbs I want to tuck into underutilized spaces in my beds and to learn more about how to put them to use once they are growing strong.

If you're interested in learning more about herbs, Mountain Rose Herbs is a great resource! They sell all the supplies you could need, but they also have a great list of books to get you started. I'm hoping to add one or two of them to my shelves in the weeks to come!
