Dried wild lettuce

Herbal News :

First foraging Tip of the day ;
Ditches are a lot deeper than they look , & embankments/ ditch hills are a lot steeper than ya think 🀣

So I ended up with 3 quarts packed full of dried wild lettuce off my first harvest ☺️ got it all dried & stored to make medicine w/ later this fall. Got all the mullein hung & moved to the drying room & My dehydrator is full of sweet melisa ( that’s lemon balm)
& A few stragglers left from the wild lettuce.
Next on the herb list to harvest πŸ€”
My friend has sting nettles & I got an unexpected week of vacation so.. .
Thistle is blooming right now & I’m spying a lot of elderberry flowers 😏
& I have my harvest spot picked for red clover πŸ˜€ ( if I get over there before they mow 🀣)


Ps. Does anyone else want/ need dried Mullein? I found the mother load & it’s fairly easy to get to 🀣

Until next time

Happy growing & Foraging 😊
