    Strawberry leaves have vitamin C. We collect them, wash & then dehydrate them to use in herbal tea.

      Heat breaks down vit c. Better in a smoothy?

      @vinlago Місяць тому +1

      Yep our dehydrator goes down to 95F. If drying in an oven that would cook them even on lowest setting. Air drying is fine if you watch for mold. As for tea, of course there's heat but it doesn't need to be too high. I suppose you could steep them cold. I do that with hibiscus.

We just had an Election, my in laws arrived 😢 and bloody Charles and Camilla popped in for a visit😂 what the bloody hell are the King and Queeny doing here blocking the traffic? I can't call Camilla Queen, so I call her Queeny. That lady needs a bloody medal for putting up with Charlie boy. It just isn't the same as the Queen HR. I measured the potato bags and they are 75 cm 😮 in growth. It isn't even summer!! The leaves are awesome, so stick some in a garbage bag before they blow away. I will let you know if these huge potato bags produce.. That is the question really. My mouth drools at those cheeses. 😛 The UK has so much wonderful produce. We are nearly through the Capricorn Pluto! Phew. It goes direct on 3rd and 4th of November so buckle up! It is a monkey poo fling forecast. Take you fan for SHTF!😂 I have stocked up and intend not to leave the house after the 25th. I am only watching a selection of media too. It is going to go insane. It leaves November 19th for 240 years thank goodness. It is about top down power. King Charles and the Election were enough for me. 😊😊Belinda
