So, I did not post this at 12:01 this morning. Yes I was awake. I restrained myself all day.

Is this mix just placed in a bowl, or... ?

What I would do is post it in PEP in the associated sub forum ( I think that the wrong word...), BUT in a separate thread than the official BB. With a disclaimer at the top of each thread so new folk see you are not seeking the BB credit for the family stuff.

Just an idea to run by your fellow staff.

Congratulations on getting to PEP 2. That's an awesome accomplishment!

Maybe staff would be cool with a thread about PEP 3 including family help, without requesting the certification?

I have been coppicing a maple for use as trellises in the garden. It takes two to three years to get them to a useful size.

My current pollards are all mulberries. I just need to keep those shorter for harvesting.

I have that book too. I got a bit discouraged when my favas failed. Three times. Seems my place is only good for killing them. Had another biomass crop failure and I set the book aside for a while.

But this year I have a lot of winter cover crops growing, with sunhemp seed waiting for spring!

What grow zone are you growing in? I look forward to seeing your methods as the seasons change. Now, where did I shelve that book...

The deer frequently snack on the tender shoots on their way past. Ground nuts continue to multiply. This will be my second year of harvesting more than a taste. My patch is now 4 growing seasons old. But... The deer just do a trim, not a buzz cut.



From the inside of the fence, before the recent freeze killed them. Possibly August?

I found a good tutorial for making teas at Rose Mountain Herbs. They are using dried plant matter in the instructions. I think you would use 1/4 of the quantity of fresh herbs. Just try it and see if it needs less or more herbs for your tastes. If it is too strong, just put it in a bigger mug and add a bit more water.

Happy experimentimg!

First, Welcome to Permies!

I found seeds for Wintergreen berries at Outside Pride.. Currently 500 seeds for $4.99. Sounds like a good deal! Huh. They may be getting some more money out of me. I've ordered cover crop seeds from them several times with no issues. I know that I have seen the plants in online nursery catalogs, but I don't remember what companies. Territorial seeds has listed plants here, no additional shipping. but they are currently out of stock.

I did a quick search for you on foragers in your state. I know absolutely nothing about them but there are several listed here.

My favorite forager is Samuel Thayer. He travels some to events, but I don't how far he goes. If you are looking for a field guide his is worth every penny.
