Harvested mallow from the yard after a hearty rain made it so easy to pull up, weeds are awesome! I cut and dried the root right in the Callander for over a week since it's been humid, took 8 days to dry.

Mallow grows all over here. According to herbalist Doc Jones, it's got similar properties, and I use it often fresh, but its roots are very tough and hard to work with. Thus, I grew Marshmallow to store.
