About Me

My photo
I have lived all my life in Ontario, Canada and moved from Toronto to a small town in rural Ontario almost 23 years ago.  I love it here! Everything moves at a slower pace and there is room to grow lots of various plants.  I have 5 children whom are all adults now and two granddaughters that I adore.  I love to learn, learn and learn some more about the various uses for plants, companion gardening, natural methods of pest control etc. etc. etc.

Best time to cut fresh herbs


The best time to cut fresh herbs to dry or use in cooking, teas/infusions etc. is in the morning after the dew has dried off the plants or in the evenings. Never cut them in the midday heat. When harvesting your herbs cut them an inch or two above the soil level.
