We've set our clocks forward and Spring officially begins soon, so it's time to use up all the 2018 Lemon Verbena leaves before the 2019 crop unfurls for the season.
Here's a photo of my daily brew this morning. It's Lemon Verbena and Texas Tulsi, a delicious and nutritious Texas-grown mixture.
I use Lemon Verbena for its health benefits as well as its delightful fragrance and taste, so that means I use a LOT of leaves. We also grew two varieties of Texas Tulsi (Holy Basil) last year. Once I experimented with drying it for storage we bagged enough of it to last until the next crop is ready in early summer 2019.
Just a few more weeks and there will be plants in the field again!

It was here that I learned about Tulsi. I have since acquired a plant, and hope it will become a producer for me to make tea and such. I also have a lemon verbena plant ( these ) are both indoor plants. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know, Faith. That's awesome, and it's why I take photos and take the time to post them on this blog!
