We are blessed with a early harvesting season! I took this picture to remind everyone of the dangers that could be innocently harvested with serious consequences. In this picture Labrador Tea and Bog Rosemary are growing right together. Please note the differences and have a safe harvest.

Spring is Here!

Im overjoyed to see this beauty pop up once again. Sometimes, this emerging Coltsfoot is called 'the son-before-father' due to the appearance of the flower stalk before leaf. This plant regenerates easily and prolifically by rhizome or seed and prefers shady, moist areas. The commonly known name 'Coltsfoot' was given because of the leaf shape, many believed it resembled a colt's footprint. The Latin name Tussilago is more apt; 'tussis' means cough, and 'ago' meaning to cast aside or act on. Hence, this inconspicuous looking plant is what made Robitussin famous. The whole plant can be used to treat coughs, asthma, emphysema and other lung ailments, although I primarily use the leaves medicinally. The roots have been found to contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids, mild, but not worth the risk if using long term for treatment of chronic disease. Food wise, the flower stalks can be peeled and steamed or cooked as a vegetable, as well as the later emerging leaves. The flowers and stalks are scaley and sweet, the leaves are hairy and salty. This is a plant that has 'scales and fur' so those accustomed to the usual American diet may not find appealing. However, in circumstance where beggars cannot be choosers, this is actually a very delicious, nutrient packed veg. The leaves were once charred and used as a salt substitute. Oh, and dont forget, Theres more uses to these little things than meets the eye.... On the importance of having this in our Herbal Apothecary, I give this an 8. Definitely one of the top 10.

Usnea- Yes! It has natural antibiotic properties. NO you DONT smoke it!
Baneberry- NO! You dont make jam out of it.
Monkshood- pretty purple flowers, but DEADLY!

Lately Iv heard some crazy (stupid) comments from people about natural herbs and their uses. Its sad. Please come to our meeting and educate yourself a little before its too late.
Survival is about staying on top of the Food Chain. Not becoming part of it!

Lingonberry - Labrador Tea
Fresh winter harvested herbs added to warm pot of water, brought to low simmer for about 5 minutes (uncovered) . Remove from heat and then cover and let steep another 5-10 minutes, strain & sweeten with honey if desired.

I Took a quick walk about out back today... Didn't walk far, just a few yards or so away from the barn.
I gathered lingonberry & labrador tea. High in antioxidants and vitamins, this combination is a great easy and free natural remedy that we can use as a healthy pick me up tonic daily or dosed accordingly for urinary tract and kidney infections, respiratory ailments, inflammation, etc. The lingonberries were still plentifully on the vine and offers a valuable winter food source.
These plants are just a few gifts from nature that can sustain us,even in the dead of winter.
Happy harvesting 🍃
