OK. So it's been awhile...things have been busy with lots of great new results. Thanks to my son and his womanfriend I have a beautiful website: desertbounty.com I am more than pleased with this evolving tool. Please take a look.
We planted several threatened plant species in the woods in Gowanda, NY. You cannot have too much goldenseal, ginseng, bloodroot, black cohosh, or Soloman's Seal. It was a joyous project for us. Two of the photos on the website are from that expedition.
I've been making soap and salves, several tincures for clients, spiffing up the space for my new Apothecary Shoppe (yeah!), writing articles for the local paper (one about jaguars here in our mountains), planting a garlic crop, and tending the goats and chickens.Had to discourage 2 raccoons from getting the chickens last night.
It has been unseasonably warm here until right now. Things will cool down to the 60's this weekend and we pray for rain to come soon.
Oops! There's javelina in the yard that the dogs are chasing...gotta go.
