Aloe Vera

 Today I finally got around to harvesting some aloe vera. I bought this plant for our bedroom last summer as it is supposed to aid sleep. I've also heard about the benefits.

A couple of the leaves are just too big and heavy so I needed to look into how to look after the plant before it got damaged.

Having watched a video online I decided to try harvesting some. It was a lot messier that it had seemed in the video but I cut one leaf and harvested about three or four tablespoons as you can see below.

Now I'm researching ways to use it ready to share with you on Monday before I try harvesting any more.
