Hello Ladies,
Do you love to be in the garden!? I assume you do,
especially if you have flowers that are beautiful to look at and to relax in it
too especially late afternoon.
Well, I always enjoyed being in the garden with my camera in
hand taking photos of flowers and the odd chance that my cat comes to visit me at
times.
Last week on my IG account I have mentioned that I have
purchased the book called Jane’s Delicious A –Z of Herbs. It’s available at
Bargain Books.
While I was glancing through the book my eyes have immediately
recognized the flower since we have it in our garden, but never have I thought
that it falls in the Herb category and that it has so many uses! I know it
smells lovely when I rub the leaves with my fingers, but that was about it!
So what have I actually discovered about our Pelargonium (Pelargonium
species): That our Pelargonium is rose
scented and the leaves can be used to:
~ Keep your clothes smelling fresh and to keep moths away by
scattering them in your drawers. Use dried leaves. I think this would also be
great to make a little sachet and add dried leaves in them and makes a great
present for someone.
~ The leaves can be used to infuse your warm milk to make
custard, jellies, teas, and cordials. I’m also thinking of infusing your milk
that you add to make Pancakes.
~ The flowers are also edible so you can freeze them in ice
cubes. This would look lovely in your water jug, especially if you are having
guests.
It’s so true you are never too old to learn something
new. Keep your eyes open you might be
surprised what you might find in your garden.
Stay safe and be blessed,
Leanie
