I have had to ignore the chives because of being just too busy...but, the other day I was in a panic to harvest herbs before the rain came. I grabbed baskets full of lovage, lemon balm, stinging nettle and a bit of comfrey. I love to forage, as well as grow in the garden. Do you harvest only what you grow?

I'm trimming an harvesting a lot of mints and lemon balm this week. It's been so ungodly hot and dry here that evenings are the only time I can do anything and a lot of that time has been spent watering the past few days. I need to trim the thyme and savories too and the sages have gone nuts this year. Even one that I thought was dead 2 years ago has come back and going wild. I told the husband I needed a portable air conditioned hut to move around the garden so I could work in comfort :) He thinks I've lost it. LOL
Hi Bev, Yes, I pretty much just harvest what I grow and sometimes not even that! It gets overwhelming for me as well! My work space in the basement is a testament to that! There is an art to foraging as in picking the right plants!
Hi Carol, the air conditioned hut sounds great! We have been hot sporadically and getting rain more sporadically than before! My thymes are all just beautiful this year! Lost all of my savories! Don't know what I did wrong!
