...And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good...

Just checking in...


Hello everyone!
I'm sitting here sipping a cup of tea with raw honey and elderberry syrup (trying to ward away an impending cold) and thought it would be the perfect time to pop in and say hello, and let you know that there are several posts are coming soon!

Since graduating from high school I've been kind of testing out the waters and trying to figure out how to use my time wisely and profitably, and making sure I devote part of my time every day to studies of some sort. This week I chose to use my study time on herbs, and I will be working on several projects so you can be sure of blog posts on those experiments, succesful or not! :) While we were on vacation most of our garden mostly died, so I'm not sure if my herb harvest will amount to anything this year, which makes me sad, but since our growing season usually lasts til october I'm considering planting a few new things if I can find plants or seeds for them!
Does anyone here subscribe to "The Herb Quarterly"? I've really been enjoying this quarter's issue, lots of lots of things I really want to try, from herbal jellies and honeys to homemade shampoos.
(sorry for the poor quality of this picture, I just held it up to my computer's webcam, since I couldn't find a picture of this issue on the internet)
Do you subscribe to any other herbal or natural health magazine? I'd love to hear about it if you do!

Okay, so I really would love feedback from my lovely readers - what kind of posts would you like to see this month?
What are your favorite cold remedies (or cold comforts once you have the cold?) ?
What would you like to see in a Crunchy Con natural Heath giveaway this fall?

I would REAAAAAAAALLLLY love to hear your feedback to any of these question, especiall the first and last!!

Stay healthy and happy <3
