New Year Resolutions for Herbalists

 

Follow me this month while I try to clear out my own chaos and get a few tips on how to get your herb cabinet and/or business back in order! January is a perfect time for reflection and planning, but also, we have time for getting things done since the rush of garden season is still a few months away, the snow keeps us at home a bit more....as does the promise of a warm house and hot cup of tea. Each day, I am going to tackle something that needs constant care or attention, but that is often left to become dysfunctional as the year goes on. Will this be the year, I actually keep on top of things? Who knows...but if not, I will repost next year!

Thyme for a Break 

Please excuse the cliche title..but this is an herbal blog! Anyway, today is going to be a "chill day" for me--just a few chores and then on to sit and read bunches of magazines and have tea..... following my own advice/Resolution about keeping a nice pace rather than running ragged.  Reading magazines is a noncommittal endeavor. You can put them down after each short article and you can just flip through if you want...and..you don't feel guilty about skipping ahead to the last article!! 

Here is a peek into what will be the possibilities on my varied reading list today:

Organic Gardening

Bon Appetite'

Mary Jane's Farm

Hobby Farm

Hobby Farm Home

Whole Living

Herb Companion

Hobby Greenhouse

Martha Stewart LIVING (guiltiest pleasure!!)

Vegetarian Times

Mother Earth News

Gastronomica (unbelievably fantastic)

Country Gardens

Essential Herbal

Herb Quarterly

Tea time

Victoria

Bee Culture

Countryside

What are your favorite magazines to read on a lazy day?
