I've recently arrived back from the best camping trip ever. We were out in Devon, sleeping on the boundary of Exmoor National Park and all I could be was was happy: by nature. There's nothing in the world that gives me the same kind of peace and contentment as being outdoors. Before we left, my fiance and I started our summer gardening and now I'm back and I've checked on my veggie seed babies (and planted some new sunflower seeds) all I want is to bring some of the Devon countyside to our backyard. I love the outdoors, and I love plants, and I love love love the gorgeous sunshine yellow Rapeseed fields that made me smile the entire way out of Devon.
So, I decided this morning to make a bit of nature my everyday and start growing herbs. I know, just a tiny bit of everything that is the plant world, but herbs are already a big part of my diet. I looove using herbs, and I love that they are like a miniature campsite in my culinary world. There are so many plants out there too though that we usually never even think of as herbs. Violet and rose petals, watercress, Aloe Vera, the list is endless. So I'm challenging myself to take a herb challenge: a different herb use or tidbit of herb info everyday. Not just in food, but in gardening, and cosmetics, and teas, medicine, and everything I can possibly think of! And hopefully by sharing it with other people I can bring a bit of nature to everyone else's world too.
