Add comfrey and whatever else suits your fancy and it will be a favorite in the household and your friends who might be so lucky to get some from you! Pick as many flowers as you can gather, put them in a baking dish and pour enough olive oil to cover. Put it in your oven overnight on less than 150 until those flower heads get dried in the oil. You dont want it to burn, hence the low heat. It might take a few days. Strain it and you have a very nice oil! I am trying to grow calendula now just for salve!Anandini dasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031812077043791607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900887335724992061.post-26015867488244123892009-07-10T10:48:40.290-07:002009-07-10T10:48:40.290-07:00I can't wait to read more on your blog, you al...I can't wait to read more on your blog, you always have such great insight on KFC.
