Wild Mint |
Yesterday my Bio Bud invited me over to her farm so that we could collect some wild foods on her property. I came across this square-stemmed downy-leaved plant and she introduced it to me as wild mint. I asked her if she realized she was living on a gold mine as I have been on the quest for wild mint for years. There is nothing like finding herbs in the wild. She graciously let me collect as much as I wanted to. Today I dried the leaves in my dehydrator and stowed them away in a sterilized mason jar. This evening Slack and I shared a mug of my wild mint tea and it was oh so very satisfying. Great friends, great plants, goodnight.

Beautiful photos and fun personal account on foraging in urban areas. Would you consider an edible walk in the woods with a group of interested people? Thanks!
