I don't know much first hand about skunks, and I am not sure how P.C. we need to be on this list, but ground hogs are good eating. My relatives ate them quite a bit during the great depression (which has still not ended in the mountains of Eastern Alabama). ;) Lawana

I can't tell, rose is pinnate and opposite like this, but does it have thorns?

I have enjoyed reading this thread. I haven't been around much, I have been busily wild crafting herbs, rose hips, elderberries and mountain ash berries, some more mullein and Yarrow too. Just got a batch of my herbal astringent/topical I call Ultra Heal, going. We are also scoring some mullein...

Ohhhhh! We raised 2 baby squirrels years ago. Named them Chip and Dale. We had to let them go when they were about half grown because they got into such mischief! We took them to our friend's house who had pecan trees and loved squirrels. That was a fun time. Lawana

I have most of the stuff! I love Hoppin' John but haven't had it lately.

It isn't a federally controlled invasive exotic, that I can tell anyway. I can't find where it is illegal here in Montana. Having grown up with it, I totally understand what you are talking about. I have also been thinking about it as a container plant inside. I read about it and it seems to do...

Is anyone schooling today? We schooled through the summer and we are taking time off until our Papa retires at the end of October. We will start our school year with two teachers!!!!!!! Woo hoo, I am excited about having my husband teaching our last two (of 8) students. We are arranging the...

Drinking tea made from free local wild herbs (weeds). : )

No worries! I grew up watching Kudzu eat every tree and abandoned building in Northeast Alabama! I AM a bit of a mad (herb) scientist! I have plans to start it in a reinforced container. I want to have a supply for some nutritional studies, I want to do. Yeah...I'm crazy. In my climate, you buy...

They aren't sweet. Tart a d sandy. We only use them dried and added to mullein tea. It makes a wonderful keep well tea. Tastes great with local honey or choke cherry juice. Do you grow or wildcraft any herbs? I could always use spearmint, or sassafras, or rootstock for kudzu to trade. What...

There are lots this year. We will work hard to get them picked and dried. I don't know what to charge really. We can figure that out later...maybe you have something you want to trade?

I also love comfrey, except the scent. I use a lot of yarrow and plantain topically. It smells a little nicer to me. Comfrey is more potent though, I think.

I am in Western Montana, near Superior. Pretty dry, semi arrid here too. This is a June picture, it is mostly tan here now.

I want to make liquid soap like Dr. Bronner's. All that I have made is either slimey or cloudy and slimey. Any ideas?

Dried all the linens, blankets, and quilts on the line. We had a nasty stomach virus go through and I washed everything anyone had bundled up with. Lots of loads and lots of things on the line, the fences and the porch drying.

Thanks!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ first and foremost! I am so excited to explore this world he gave me.

I juiced over mature zuchinni and beets rather than store bought produce. Squash juice is so mild, it takes on the flavor of whatever else you juice with it. I usually do lemon, apple or pear, and squash with a carrot or beet. Seeds in the squash are a plus. Last year I learned that zuchinni...
