I’ve been playing around to create videos to add to this website for help with identifying herbs and such. The quality isn’t very good at this point because I’m using my camera video function but I’m working towards getting a camcorder so I can bring high quality videos to you. Enjoy!

This first video shows garlic that came up on its own last year. It’s growing pretty tall and I can start clipping off the ends to use in cooking.

This second video shows garlic I planted late last fall. It is just getting started but by July should be ready for harvest.

Congratulations to Catherine! Her name was drawn from all the entries. Catherine, please email me your address and I’ll forward it on for shipping at the appropriate time.
