Daisy (Bellis perennis)

Taking pleasure in the simplest of flowers.

Collecting a few to add to a salad and some to dry for infusing in oil.

The common name daisy stems from the old term "day's-eye", an acknowledgement of the flower’s habit of opening and closing with the sun.

Common names of plants often hint at their potential uses too. Another of daisy’s names being bruisewort. A reference to it’s use in helping wounds and bruises heal.

Roasted Beetroot With Garlic & Thyme

Beetroot season is well underway so I thought I'd reshare one of my favourite beetroot recipes.

Ingredients:
Golden & purple beetroot, chopped into chunks
Garlic, a whole bulb, or individual cloves
A few sprigs of thyme
Beetroot leaves
Olive Oil
Salt & pepper to season

Method:
Throw the beetroot, garlic and thyme in a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil & season with salt & pepper. Cook for approximately 40 minutes (cooking time will depend on how large your beetroot chunks are and whether you include a whole bulb of garlic or individual cloves) Add the leaves from the beetroot in towards the end, stir through and cook for a few more minutes.

A simple, but colourful side dish.

(For non vegans some feta crumbled on top works well too)

Bath Salts

A simple baths salts blend made with lavender, chamomile, rose and mint.

At this time of year I love throwing handfuls of freshly harvested flowers in the bath, but drying some of them and blending them with various salts for use later in the year is a must too.

Perfect to calm & soothe after a long day in the sunshine.

A Herbal Giveaway

Lately, my feed’s been ever so slightly (!) flower focused.

To celebrate my love for all things floral I have decided to share a couple of things I like to make with flowers foraged from the hedgerows or grown in the garden along with a copy of one of my favourite books.

The prize:

📖 Observer’s Book of Wildflowers. A vintage classic that is both aesthetically pleasing and a useful addition to a forager’s bookshelf or backpack.

💐A handmade herbal incense wand. Add to your altar space, use to cleanse your space, or simply burn to keep insects away.

🛁 Dried herbs + salts for you to create your own floral bath soak.

First Chanterelles Of The Season 💛

The white inner stem and the way the ridges (they are not true gills) are peeling are a couple of ways to distinguish true chanterelles from the look alike false chanterelle.

I Can Grow Myself Flowers

Sage, celery ( I know it's a bit of a weird one but they looked pretty!), sweet peas, Cambrian poppies, valerian, rose, calendula, lavender, chammomile, and sweet William.

The sweet peas were bought as baby plants from because the mice kept eating my seeds ( I gave up after 3 attempts!). They smell amazing. Wish I'd bought more.

The poppies are self seeded all over the garden. Everything else grown from seed or cuttings here in sunny mid Wales 🌱 💚
