I share your passion for gardening and herbs and live in the same region as you. I love what you said about your aunt showing you how to roll the leaves to release their scent. I remember my mom doing this, and was delighted that my two and a half year old daughter enjoyed learning this over the last summer. She has learned to identify most of the herbs in our garden--a little herbalist in the making! Cynthia, thank you for your comment over at my blog–I’m so happy to have discovered your space here!

I raise alpacas in the Smokey Mountain area. I have the herbs and fiber(started 3 years ago). I now want to dye my fiber. I have tons of tansy and want to make sure I do this process correctly. I put water/vinegar and fiber in one area. Then boil the tansy in water to make dye solution and strain. Drain fiber and add to to dye solution. I have the same interest.

I have always wanted to grow amaranth. Now you have given me even more reasons to give it a try! I just might have to finally grow some this year. Thank you for this comment Lamyka.
