Hey guys I’m about to ferment  78lbs of cabbage , I’m trying to find the right section to post this.
I’ll be making different variations of kraut and kimchi🖤

I mostly lacto ferment all my harvested goods, does this count as preserving ?

Hiked up a mountain a picked just shy of 4.5 lbs of huckleberries this morning, I thought well
I better go check and look to see if it’s apart of the curriculum, sure enough 😊

It’s raspberry season yall! While picking berries I harvested some leaf from first year plants that have not fruited yet, I let them air dry on my wood stove (because I’m lazy) I jarred them up for tea and other medicines needed in the future.

Harvested cayenne last year, I dried it, packed a jar full, smooshed it down to break up
The dried pieces , I used everclear for one jar and vodka for the other, let sit for a month and strained. I use this tincture as a mouth spray for anxiety and breaking bad habits.
Its great for quitting vaping, everytime
You want a hit just spray your mouth 😂 I promise it does the trick.

Harvested comfrey leaf, bruised by rolling and smooshing it on granite, placed on wound held down by bandana 🖤

Harvested some plantain , comfrey, mint and lavender. Bruised then placed into pot with oil
Let it sit on low heat, strained thru cheese cloth, and added beeswax. Put into jars and let cool.

Harvested nettle, let boil, strain, drink 😊

Late morning foraging for SJW blooms. The weather is strange, most are dying off from
Dry heat or not quite ready to be picked. I put some of the blooms in a small jar, covered in everclear, let sit for a couple weeks, shook regularly, and strained. Ready for use 😊
