(Is it the one in the family cookbook?) As for lemon verbena, I've never actually had my own plant. I think my mother harvests hers by cutting back, though -- I'll ask her.

Which recipe are you using? I am hoping that it comes out as good as everyone else's seems to be. I am having trouble keeping it warm enough. How do you do it? Thanks for the information in advance, Marie Caitlin, I just started a batch of the no-knead bread. Which recipe are you using? I am hoping that it comes out as good as everyone else’s seems to be.

Thought of you. If anyone wants that recipe, let me know. Also, I've been making no-knead bread about twice a week (all we can eat) and not only is it delicious, but it saves us money because the good bread costs nearly $6 a loaf! AND I made bone broth from Zach and Daniella's lamb (the lamb was incredibly delicious) and the bone broth was, too. Made a stew with it from potatoes and carrots and onions. So those are only a few of the ways that you and the boy have improved our culinary lives. Thank you so much. I'm glad you're back on the blog. Question: do you have a preferred way of harvesting lemon verbena? With most herbs I cut the stem and then let it grow back, but it seems a shock to lemon verbena. Do you harvest from the bottom up? much love, Caitlin The other day we made elder flower fritters from the ‘original’ recipe that I got from a Bohemian farm family in northern Wisconsin in 1970 or so.

I had a Trojan Horse virus crash mine last week! I'm looking forward to some great preserving ideas this harvest season! Lots of good lacto fermented recipes I hope! Hey, I think I've seen you on the Herb Menotr....just wanted to say "hi". Thanks for a great resource of information. Welcome back! I had a Trojan Horse virus crash mine last week!

A fie on that machine. By the way, I recently made one of your citrus liquors from a passel of leftover organic peels. Delicious and refreshing in the heat! Excellent; welcome back!
