November and still busy foraging. Hawthorn berries, meadowsweet seeds and dandelion roots. Hawthorn is so good for the heart. Meadowsweet is fabulous for so many things, pain killer, anti inflammatory, calming, digestive aid etc. Dandelion root is a wonderful bitter.

More roots. Goldenseal waiting to be planted. It’s now in a good shady spot in the garden covered in mulch. In the jar is the ashwaghanda roots after they have been in the dehydrator. It is a great time of year to be gathering roots for replanting and for herbal medicine.

The other evening I went to the polytunnel in the twilight. It was time to raise some roots. I had a tub of turmeric which I dug up. I got this little plate full of the fabulous spice. I saved a few tiny plants that would fit on a windowsill over winter. They are in the back of the first picture. Next I dug up my ashwaghanda. I thought there were 2 plants. Cleaning the roots I realised that 2 plants were potted together. So I saved one, to see if it will survive the Scottish winter in the polytunnel. I cut up and dehydrated the rest of the roots. Learning about plants, for me, involves getting to know them. Growing them or finding where they thrive and watching their growth through the year. The smell of the ashwhaganda roots is strong!

The Northern Lights have begun their season here in Scotland. I love to watch them with a cosy cup of tea. Sleepy tea is my absolute favourite. Now available in a tub of teabags. Meadowsweet and Linden gorgeous and relaxing.
