Last evening, I finally harvested the mullein that volunteered in my strawberry bed. There is a huge crop of late boneset that I keep eyeballing (that's a stupid story, ugh). I've brought in all the sumac I can reach, but it's sitting out in the garage, with the aforementioned mullein, and some drying peppergrass, to let all the little creepy- crawlies find their way to a better home, before I process it. Still staring at me, are the blackberry leaves, rapidly losing their potency, that keep getting pushed down the priority list, and the lespezeda that needs to be cut, dried, and baled, for the goats' winter pleasure. I wish we had grapevines to cut for weaving!
