We're all in this busy time of the year again with short days and early darkness to get a million things done.  I know it's an inconvenience for Thursday people to receive on Tuesday.  We typically harvest on Monday's and Tuesday's for packing and delivering on Wednesday's and again on Thursday's.  Loosing a work day really puts the squeeze on us.  Thank you for understanding.

Bag of weedy looking leaves and stems you don't know with what to do?  Ah, first smell.  Like lemon?  Yes indeed, it's lemon verbena.  Easiest and fastest is to simmer some water, put in the contents of the baggie and let seep for 20 minutes.  This makes a wonderful fresh tea, either cold or hot and if you have guests, I'm sure they'll enjoy.  Here's a link for tips on lemon verbena cookies and even natural cleaning solution?  Lemon Verbena

Next stump for you might be the bag with leaves in it.  They are Laurel Bay Leaves and essential for stuffing, gravies, soups and stews.  You may use fresh or dry for later use.

Please note that some substitutions may apply from time to time.
