27K views · 1.4K reactions | Did you know you can grow your own lemon grass and half the work is already done by the supermarkets. Get it home and remove one leaf layer or sheath. Partially fill a glass of water, stick it in and leave it in a warm windowsill. In a day or so you’ll notice the plant starting to grow from the tip and in a few more days you’ll see roots and leaves forming. Stick them in a pot of damp compost and you’re now growing your own lemon grass that you can harvest when you like. | The Mediterranean Gardener | Facebook

Meagan Lloyd on Instagram: "3 ways to use chive blossoms 🌸 Chive Blossom Vinegar: mix blossoms and vinegar (I like white wine vinegar) in a jar and let steep for 3-7 days. The more flowers you use, and the longer you steep, the stronger the taste will be. Strain out the flowers and enjoy! I like to mix with olive oil for a light salad dressing. This will store for a couple of months at room temperature. Chive blossom butter: Mix blossoms with room temperature softened butter, and reshape into a log using parchment paper. Refrigerate and you’re done! This is great on bread, on veggies, and steak. Topping blossoms: Use blossoms to top your food! It gives your food a chive flavor, and makes your dishes more decorative as well. How do you use chive blossoms? #gardening #gardentips #

115K views · 17K reactions | Growing and drying herbs and teas is my all-time favorite task on our Homestead. It’s therapeutic and simple; yet it makes all the difference in the taste of foods! I also find it fascinating that herbs are medicinal and healing. Growing healing medicines for my family takes self-sufficiency to a whole new level for me…and it’s so easy.😍 While you can absolutely use a freeze dryer or dehydrator, you can also just use a simple homemade drying rack set up like I have…or lay your herbs out on a cotton tea towel in a well-ventilated area. It’s really that simple. #Herbalism #HomegrownTeas #HomesteadLife #Homesteading #FoodIndependence #MoreThanFarmers #Teas #Herbs #MedicinalHerbs #FoodPreservation #FoodSecurity | More Than Farmers

Martha Swales on Instagram: "2 years of my supermarket mint and time to make new plants and tea 👌 Of all the videos I make the ones where I get to look back over a project across months or even years are the most satisfying. I don’t always know what will happen when I start a new project but I love what I learn along the way. Gardening is the perfect hobby if you are, or want to be more curious about the world. It is life and science in action with a bit of magical thrown in too. This is so easy, if you want to have a go at growing one thing, then have a go at this. #growmint #gardeninforbeginners"
