| Everything looks healthy and beautiful! I love herbs. I've been working on drying and bottling up mine. Have about 10 jars full bottled up so far, but more to come. Still out picking today, but hard frost due tonight, so that will be about the end of it.... |

Right, and very nice Sage Hermit, it is joyful! I have grown the purple opal basil and the red rubin (as well as various greens). For some reason the red rubin has never thrived very well for me--harder to start from seed, lower germination rate, slower growing and then once you get it going, it still doesn't thrive. But I LOVE the purple opal basil; it is the most delicious, heady, perfumy fragrance! I do a big container on the deck with one green basil and one purple basil together. Even in a big container, it still stunts their growth a little bit to be together, but worth it for how ornamental it is. |

My friend from UAE showed me how to make his countries tea.
Base:
1 boil water.
2 let settle on low
3 add sage. (its an over powering herb)
4. add a teaspoon or two rosewater. Arabic: Ma-ward
5. add just a table spoon of sugar
6. add mint or any of your fav tea bags.
Add: Sugar / Honey / Cream as you like.
Very wonderful tea. I have no other use for rosewater than this special tea  _________________
