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.

For this BB, you will harvest, dry, and store enough hops to make a tea, infusion or decoction.

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

I had no idea there were wild/feral hops growing near me. Went on a local trail to where I remembered seeing rose hips last year to collect some this year and not only did I find an abundance of them but I was ecstatic to find hops growing along the trail as well!

I was going to let them dry on the vine, but rain. I have standing permission to pick their hops, they were planted by the previous owner and I asked when they moved in.
