•CHAMOMILE-- One of nature's safest and mildest sedatives useful to calm birds in stressful situations. Studies show that this herb also kills the yeast fungi Candida albicans as well as certain staph bacteria.

I am growing Chamomile on my deck this year. after doing a little research, it's time to start harvesting the blossoms. if you decide to grow this calming herb, you harvest just the blossoms as the little white petals droop. you can harvest them a little earlier or later. cut the blossoms as close to flowers as possible. trim any stems short. you will need a large plate, a couple sheets of paper towels, and warm dry dark place to set the plate; a upper cupboard works great, 2 weeks.
I will show what happens after the 2 weeks in later post.
