More than that this year I have hot peppers stored long term, more pickles than I care for, all the mint and sage needed for a winter along with parsley, thyme, oregano, basil and garlic. Not a bad list so far. The honey is not to be found this year as the sole remaining Colony D Top Bar Hive heads into its final winter preps.
