I foraged this dandelion from a Zone 5 corner of my yard. This was the first time I’d been over there since May.

The very last of the red clover by the canal.

Plant in the wild, a handful freshly harvested, steeping (with a sprig of yarrow, also foraged) and in the cup.

We haven't had a frost yet so the nettle fall regrowth is surprisingly lush at the moment. I grabbed a small handful today for some nourishing nettle tea, but maybe I'll make it back for another harvest to dry. I picked a bit of weedy rose hips to add a little zing too.

Nettle has a very strong flavor. I dried the nettle over the summer and used the dried leaves to make an infusion. I used boiling water and let it infuse until the water temp was cool enough to sip, about 10 mins.

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen brought to sample.

This tea was delightful, like citrus rose. A nice source of vitamin c that grows in my cold region. I dried the hips over the summer, then crushed them just prior to making the infusion. I used boiling water and let it infuse until the water temp was cool enough to sip, about 10 mins.

Dandelion tea

I usually just make tea from cedar branch tips because it seems to help reduce the cedar fever that comes with the pollen season here in central TX.  

This dandelion tea was great tasting also, and im already planning to use it to make veggie broth for the cook a soup BB!

Some thyme, dandelion leaves, and rosemary. Very strong taste and next time I need to wash them better. A lot of little fine particulates ended up swirling around later.
