Bee's Bootcamp Journey

That plant looks to be Nettle Leaf Hyssop !

Day 7 - BRK
Today was boot gardening day. We started with watering the hugels as always , and I set out to Chopping and dropping, harvesting potatoes, & planting bunches of garlic.
In the afternoon, we proceeded to work on the solarium. Which is high on the priority list. We got the main posts that are against the garage secured with carriage bolts, and are still working on getting all of the posts leveled and notched uniformly. We also marked the top beam for the rafter and post cutouts. There’s still quite a bit of work to be done.
After finishing fir the day, Grey and I decided to go for a swim at the river. The water was fairly cold, but wonderfully refreshing. Grey also stumbled upon a couple of apples floating in a creek that runs into the river. I thought it a bit strange at first. I’m guessing he got curious and followed the creek up through a culvert, low anc behold the tree those apples came from. There were hundreds more! I was stricken with joy and excitement upon this discovery. Grey and I harvested quite the load of them. Probably 20lbs or so total.
When we returned home, we decided to make some apple sauce, and spent a couple of hours washing and quartering them. I’ll let y’all know how the apple sauce was!
What a great day.

Thanks George! It sure does look like it. I’ve never seen one before. Apparently it’s also called Horsemint?

Thats amazing! River apples!! WOW !
Is that second flower from a potatoe?

Yessir I believe it is

Actually, Horsemint is a totally different-looking plant that the BlackFeet used to chew on the leaves and flowers and then spit it out on their horses to rub on them to keep insects off, Also, old grizzly bears chew it for teeth problems . .It can help to relieve toothache or help prevent it because it has the same compound  that is in Listerine and bergamot have,Thymol.

It also smells like Listerine, somewhat!

If the leaves look like the ones on Stinging Nettles, it is Nettle Leaf Hyssop. It makes a cleansing herbal tea; great before a hot rock sweat!

Well, after all my statements I found you are correct the flower is called Horsement and the one I insisted is called horsemint is actually Wild Bergamot that the BlackFeet call Horsemint. the BlackFeet also call Angelica: Licorice Root which is very incorrect but does smell like the Licorice Blackstrap candy being aromatic like the spice Anise.

So difficult, those names of plants. One plant seems to have several names. And that's only in English. I am Dutch and know the Dutch names of plants (sometimes also several names for one plant), but then I have to search for the English name ...
That's why I always mention the Latin name (but some of those were changed during my lifetime ...)
