RE: Winter foraging for springtime Sassafras tea!

in #medicinalherbs7 years ago (edited)

Lovely post, always try to get a sassafrass hunt in each year! One of my favorite activities, especially since I learned the scratch and sniff test when its leaves are gone in winter! I always include the safrole/mouse/fda story when I talk about its nature as well! Resteemed!

Sort:  

Scratch and sniff! Great tip, thank you for contribution, and I appreciate your resteeming @dartistdreams! I admire your post about three sisters planting, the diagrams are awesome! I want to try it this year for sure. I wasnt planning on growing squash, you reckon a jewelry gourd would work just as well?

Probably! Squash really just see for more groundcover, apart from edible mass. I'm not too keen on most squash myself. If you know of any other edible/medicinal plants that tend to have large leaves/creeping vine/fast growing they should cover the bases left by squash.
