I gathered this little bunch of dogbane along a roadside yesterday for fiber. I wish there were bigger patches around, but they like drier soils than are usually found around here. I feel like they might be abundant in the Green Mountain highlands, but that’s a bit further. In places like abused hillside hayfields, they’re often very stout and not at all suitable for fiber. I’m still somewhat new to transportation by bicycle, but this
thread has been a great inspiration so far. Mostly that is because there is not much bike culture here. Whenever I am going down the main road, where it goes through the valley, people gawk, their expressions saying, “What?? A BICYCLE?” And that’s when I’m not dragging dogbane.
