Artemisia annua harvest has paid off

Hey Hive,
I decided to do a little change on my blog :P
I'll mainly write in English.
I had a little practice in previous time, so I can also speak English fast. Of course, I got mistakes especially in the tenses. But i wanna give myself a try and maybe I will be better in some time :) It's a great motivation to go on.

The reasons for this are simple: The german community is too small for my knowledge and I wanna expand it, and conenct with more people than just this lil country ^^^

Weelll...

Now I'm gonna show you my big harvest !!! :O

And what I'm gonna do with it.

As a suprise I found a little Artemisia Annua farm near my flat and I am absolutely happy about it. As you maybe know: In Germany it is forbidden to sell seeds and plants of Artemisia Annua. And in Africa they cure Malaria with Artemisia Annua. It is more cheaper and less toxificate, to be honest: It is healing. But pssstttt: I am now allowed to say otherwise I'm getting into jaaail!?!?

So I picked up A LOT :O
(for myself, to make it clear..)

At first I just picked them up and threw them on the floor :D:D They should dry.. It was too much branches to hang them up. Too much work.

After that, a few days later, I separated the leaves and seeds from the branches.

Now they dry a lot faster and efficent :) Otherwise they would be wet for a longer time... :/

And ooouuff,, I cannot tell you how long all those steps costed my time...

yaaay! nearly finished...

Where do I always get these old pots from??

And now just wait...

we were friends for about 1 hour.... It was so difficult to catch him! He saw me, he looked into my eyes and then simply fled.. ;(

I've lost my patience. So I took a glass and caged him :D Afterwards he chilled at my window and had been enjoyed the sunset. So we got more than 1 hour together in my flat, maybe it was about 3...

And we waited,

Till:

A lot of seeeds!!!
It is common to know that the seeds of Artemisia Annua are very very small. You barely see them so how to pick up? I didnt know and now i got a lot, but i actually also dont know what I should do with them expect eating..!? because dont have a garden? I could throw them around, maybe the monoculture in Germany would end with it :D? But idk if i got problems afterwards xD if someone seeing me.....

Done!

I gave the harvest more about 1 month to dry because i wanna be completely sure that it wont rot while i am not looking at it >.>?

sooo...

What Im gonna do?
Tea! for the winter <3
using it as a spicey, but it is a very very crazy aroma for me. its too dominant and i just taste nothing excpect artemisia....

anndd!!
kombucha !!! <3

its the best taste, mates...
and a lot of varieties i can produce.
anytime its different <3 ^-^

A few minutes ago I started to ferment Kombucha with a species of Silybum marianum.
I was so angry the last days so I drank my own healing poison ! :D And for real, no joke, dont wanna lie, it helps. woa.
I ferment the first fermentation for about 2-4 weeks and the second one for 5 days till -2 weeks also...

and of course i do something different with the kombucha scoby: drying and eating as a little snack ^^

dont wonder it doesnt look that great hahaha xx)

but tastes like chewing gum

and yea i feel okay.^^
got a lot of feelings which are wanted to feel and so i give them the space for.
but my body is a lil bit weird.
sometimes i sleep only 2 hours,
then 7 hours, then again 10 hours
and back to 2.
hahah this night i just slept 2 hours in the night, was awake the completely day and got a little 3 hour nap at lunchtime.

so well....
maybe someone can give me advice? i couldnt find valeriana officinialis :/
yea but got a lot of energy and i am doing a lot all the time... just that lot of researching that i just forget everything again :D and then remember it in a discussion with another one... lol

Scattered? And then suddenly hyperfocused again in the interplay.

Luckily, I've found lots of new songs and I'm constantly dancing around and singing...... now i got about more than 1000 songs on soundcloud ... :_: and im always playing random mix. its like surprising myself in which feelings i could drive into... inspiring.

i am happy about feedback ;)
