I'm growing Christmas! Last Christmas, I was able to gift a lot out of my garden. And this year I wanted to plant specifically what I could gift at Christmas time. This is everything for this year's Christmas gifts. I grew luffa last year to gift everybody sponges, and I'm doing it again this year. I have four banana pepper plants and seven pepperoncini going to pickle. And can I make different tea blends? I'm growing peppermint, mullein, milk thistle, holy basil, lemon balm, and calendula. And I'm even growing stevia as a natural herbal sweetener. Four cayenne pepper bushes to dehydrate. Birdhouse gourd. You take the gourd, dry it out, it's just like wood, and you can make little cute bird houses out of it. Bird house is for everyone. I grow a lot of different herbs to freeze, bottle up, and then gift as seasonings. We have oregano, rosemary, sage, and a whole lot of basil. I use propagation as a method of gifting plants and I've made arrangements fully just on propagated plants. If you harvest seeds from your garden like I do, they always make a great gift. And of course, whatever might be able to harvest at the time. I know I have a lot of things going, but I wanted variety. But also, if something doesn't work out, I wanna have it. I wanna be left with an area that had a gift and I didn't. If you grow or make your own Christmas gifts, I wanna know about it. So let me know down in the comments.
