  1. Use dried rosehips with other herbs for tea, infuse with lid 20 minutes or a couple hours. Nice color, taste, and vit. C.
  2. Found some rosehips? You can dry them. Dry the flesh, not the seeds, on a tray in any airy warm place. Store in jars with lid.
  3. The Nov. Herbal Wisdom class has been postponed. It will be January 28th, on using herbs for cancer and heart disease.
  4. Rosehips - nibble on the red flesh, avoid the barbed seeds inside. Great source of Vit. C
  5. Canoeing - found a few rosehips to nibble. Not much else, so just enjoyed the warm sunny weather and being on the water.
  6. If they've been frosted, it will be too late. Not the right flavor to spend time preserving.
  7. I will be looking for unfrozen garlic greens and chives tomorrow. Forget to dry some for the winter. 200 degree oven, into well sealed jar.
  8. Ignite2 went well, love to talk about wildcrafting with people who never considered it, or who remember their g-mother doing it.
  9. As of this moment, just 32 free tickets left for ignite2 http://igniteannarbor.event... So about 500 people will be there. Cool.
  10. I am explaining my motivation and passion for this twitter experiment at Ingite2, Friday night, 7 pm. 5 minutes, 20 slides, auto advance
  11. Eat 'chokes raw like water chestnuts, baked and mashed with potatoes, boiled in soups, stir fried is awesome, very versatile. Nutritious 2
  12. I'll put some in sand in the root cellar. Last year the mice got to them, this year taking measures against mice so there is hope.
  13. To store Jer. Art. don't remove the dirt, put in plastic bags in the produce drawer of your refrig, I've had some last almost a year.
  14. Harvested about 30 pounds of Jerusalem Artichokes. They are kind of wild - they grow where I don't want them and come back every year.
  15. If you have greens that are tasty but bedraggled make them into herbal vinegars. http://www.holisticwisdom.o...
  16. Found what I believe is garlic mustard. Right place, right shape, more mustard than garlic taste, didn't know it would grow 3 times in 1 yr.
  17. On my walk I found bee balm just beginning to regrow. It was very fragrant so easy to ID. Picked some to season dinner. Similar to oregano.
  18. Hickory nuts. Plenty of trees in and around Ann Arbor. Gather, crack with a hammer of shoe, pick out the meat, enjoy. They also freeze well.
  19. Also made it through my first frozen gallon of maple tree SAP. That worked really well. Took freezer space but otherwise very easy.
  20. I label things with date, name, and place so I can remember picking. Today black rasp. July 7, from The Big Playground. So long ago now...
