This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Natural Medicine.

In this badge bit, you will harvest, dry and store red clover



You need to dry enough to make a tea, infusion, or decoction.

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must post:
- a picture of your fresh herbs being harvested
- a picture of your herbs drying (hanging, in a dehydrator, or in a bag, etc)
- a picture of your herbs in a sealed and labeled container
    - label shows where the herbs came from, the date, and the method of drying

Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Sand for Straw - Dry Red Clover BB.

I harvested Red Clover Flowers at Wheaton Labs during the PTJ 2021.  It was dried in the solar dehydrator.
(WL = Wheaton Labs as harvest location)

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
- a picture of your fresh herbs being harvested
- a picture of your herbs drying (hanging, in a dehydrator, or in a bag, etc)
- a picture of your herbs in a sealed and labeled container
    - label shows where the herbs came from, the date, and the method of drying

While on a walk, my daughter and I found red clover! Yeah! Enough to dry and store for later. I dried it in my dehydrator at home, then labeled and stored it.

I picked red clover blossoms from my garden and air-dried them on a screen.

I harvested 3 separate small batches. The photo of the flowers drying on the screen are the first batch, but the jar shows all of them dried. So that's why there's more in the jar than on the screen.
