Chamomile, first harvest

Harvest and Store

March 12, 2009

The chamomile is selfseeding, and every years it grows spontaneus in my pots.
Today I harvested the first flowers.

The harvest will continue for a couple of months, and after that the plant will die.

Chamomile in the pots produces few flowers. Every year the harvest it's enough for two or three cups of warm chamomile tea, but it's so good it's worth every effort.
Besides, small flowers are gorgeus.

Author: Graziana 21/07/2009 Thank you Shannon, you can store dried chamomile flowers in a jar, all winter long. Try to grow it in large pots if you have enough space, you will harvest more flowers than me!
