Cool! No oil though. But I may do it again with more plant material.<br />My front yard would be about 1/2 yarrow if we didn't cut it, and it is everywhere here if you look. I even found some today with pale pink flowers - stunning!<br />Tina Samshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723071355189498268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12219968.post-17616065203115788962013-06-22T10:35:55.498-07:002013-06-22T10:35:55.498-07:00Let me know how your yarrow distillation goes.

This year, I am digging all the yarrow that has sprouted around here into one big bed under a snowbush. This will be a lovely moon garden. We're no doubt a step behind for distilling; I've got a few weeks to go. Happy Summer!Marcia Elstonhttp://www.wingedseed.comnoreply@blogger.com
