Spices and Herbs

Managed to get one more good cutting of herbs today, before starting to weed the herb garden:

• 2 huge bunches of peppermint
• 2 bunches of thyme
• 1 big bunch of rosemary
• 1 bunch of oregano
• 1 big bunch of sage

Fresh herbs hung up to dry in the kitchen

We also made a batch of spiced apple wine - the recipe called for cloves, broken up cinnamon sticks and shredded ginger root.  Can't wait to see how this will turn out - may we'll have it ready for next year's Thanksgiving holiday.  In the meantime, I am making do with mulled hot cider - actually sipping it right now and it is delicious!
