I encourage my herb students to go outside & observe the plants in all seasons. At this time of year we tend to think nothing much is available for noticing much less for harvesting. I have been harvesting several plants as I need them this winter, mostly for immune system.
Yesterday I took an old salt lamp up to the woods, it was crumbling & falling apart, so I decided to give it to the deer! Deer can use the himalayan salt as a salt lick. I left it under a big tree for them to find.
Join me on a walk on some trails:
ARBUTUS TREE WITH PEELING BARK, I love the feel of these trees, they are so smooth, and
when its raining the bark underneath looks really orange.
Alder leaf on a maple leaf.
Alder cones
