Shell & Selyra
I’ve been mapping the growth cycles of medicinal plants lately—there’s a fascinating pattern in their seasonal peaks. How do you keep track of all the herbs you use, Shell?
I keep a small journal in the garden—just a few pages where I jot down the date, the weather, and what each plant is doing. A little sketch or a photo works too, and I add a note on when the leaves turn bright or when the buds start to swell. It helps me remember what’s in season and what I’ll need to gather next. Plus, looking back at the notes feels like a gentle conversation with the earth.
