I just spent 4 hours in the woods - I guess I was celebrating Earth day LOL! I was collecting herbs, the woods are waking up! |

The biggest thing I found is that my body is NOT in garden mode yet! My lower back and hamstrings were screaming at me to stop bending over so much LOL! There's a bunch of stuff growing that I don't know what it is or what it's used for. I keep saying I'm going to ID everything and just never have enough hours in the day. So, today I stuck to what I know. I grabbed some mullein because last year when I waited until fall it wasn't very good (bugs). I got some chickweed and purple dead nettle from the field before the alfalfa and clover take over, and I spent most of the time picking wild violets. I'm hoping to get down and pick some more of those in the next couple days. I need a bigger dehydrator and oven!

That sounds like so much fun, thats also worthwhile. Heather, what will you make with the wild violets? |

This batch I'm drying to save some for tea (it's good for a dry hacking cough) and then the rest for infused oil (it's good for helping to move lymph, such as when a cow has a swollen udder, and for dry itchy skin) that I'll add to other oils to make salves later. I'm hoping to get more to make some wild violet jelly - it kind of tastes like grape and my husband loves it. |
