More herbs for drying

   I've decided to dry some culinary herbs along with the medicinal ones. I started with the Shepherds Purse and added Nettles, Borage, Oregano, Dill , and Bronze Fennel. They're almost through the drying process. The Nettles and Borage will be combined to create a nourishing tea for all us women (men too!) who are in need of Calcium, Magnesium  and Potassium. It's particularly helpful during nursing and pregnancy when you need an ample supply of these nutrients. Mature women and people who get muscle cramps, charlie horse, or other types of tendonitis would benefit from taking this tea daily. 

The culinary herbs I will combine to make a spice blend suitable for adding to salad dressings, marinades ,fish, meats,  cooked veggies, biscuits and bread too!
