If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

So I thought this would be a fabulous episode to share with you because many of us go through some very

hot days in the middle of harvest season.

It's like the peak of preserving time if you're harvesting your fresh fruits and vegetables

as they come on, but that's also the hottest time of the year. So I wanted to give

you some of my game plan when those days get too hot to even can and how to help mitigate that so that you are not having food that goes past the

prime time in order to be able to preserve it and you don't have too much that is going into the

freezer because we only have, most of us only have so much freezer space.

This was actually something that we were talking about inside the pioneering today Academy.

We are doing a preserving challenge right now inside the Academy and this
