I've not been posting a lot for a while. I've reacted negatively to anything to do with the US of late, especially things the value of are tied to the USD. But a person, much wiser than I, who lives in that part of the world, told me that sources of news and inspiration from the real world are getting few and far between, especially for Poor, Migrant, Latinx, Black, Indigenous and LGBTQ++ communities (read 'anyone whos not a straight, white christian'). They helped me realise that we need to keep pumping out the positive, healing vibrancy that comes with gardening and herbalism. So I bit the bullet and am back, starting with a post about creating your own Flower Essences to help us all heal in these crazy times.

It's been so dry this year that even the centre of the garden is shrivelling. I'm sure I saw a dust devil moving toward the gate...Even so, Ligaya Garden is still looking green!At least the path stayed well mulched, thanks to Mamma Blackbird and family moving it from the garden beds where I had mistaking put it. Every year she spends a lot of time correcting my mistakes - I've written about it before but I always find it humorous!
