A day at the herb farm

Posted in Everyday Happenings



Today I'm going to be spending some time away from home.  Taking my two youngest children, I'm going with my sister and Mom to Gilbertie's Herb Gardens.
Sal Gilbertie has been one of the biggest names in the herb growing business for over 35 years. His herb growing business is one of the largest in the whole country. And to think he's right here in little, ole Connecticut.
It's been years since I been there and I am so looking forward to this time away. Not only can you find the common herbs there, but there are hundreds of unusual ones....many that are used for medicinal purposes. These are the ones I'm looking for....something different...something that I don't already have. Herbs are a passion of mine. Hopefully I'll be able to check back tonight or tomorrow and share some photos.

I see that your heavy into herbs. I also noticed that you said you had a Vinegar treatment for doggies. I have a question? Is there a treatment for doggies with sensitive skin? Our dog loves to play in the dirt but, his skin can't handle the reaction to the dirt. This is one bare spot in the backyard that has not grown, due to him using the spot often.
If you have a home remendy, let me know.
