Decorating with rose hips from my garden

I finally used some of my rose hips from one of my rose bushes to decorate some wreaths. Very fun. I bought this particular kind of rose because of the rose hips that it produces. I am also big on ways to become self-sufficient, and having rose hips in my herb garden definitely is a must. As you might know, rose hips have an extremely high amount of vitamin C. Ways to get the vitamin C is to make an herbal tea with them, (Yum!) or I know that it can be extracted by making tinctures... I just haven't gotten that far yet. Growing herbs is pretty easy to do. Most herbs are extremely hardy and prefer ground that isn't over fertilized, so just about any plot of ground will do. I love them though.. some of my favorites are Lavender, Basil,  Echinachea, Sage, chives... mostly the basics. But they certainly come in handy and are surprisingly beautiful in the home garden.
