19 September. Sudden drop in temperature after a week or so of rain. Time to check all the appropriate places and “usual suspects” for mushrooms and other yummy fungi.
St.John’swort oil still standing and being stirred a couple of times daily, time to double check the calendar to remember its starting and upcoming extraction dates. Very very red at this point. Beautiful ruby colour.
Two batches of Calendula oil straining now after numerous recharging with fresh flowers., and one new batch waiting to start.
Hops drying along with Mugwort, Wormwood and Hoary Mountain Mint. Guess it’s time to take all the dried herbs down from the rafters before they start
