Wild Herbal Harvest
Lily Fawn
Have you been complaining about our Victoria rain? I know, me too... but let's take a moment to say "thank you" to our very rainy spring for this lovely abundance of spring greenery that it brings.
Herbs like red clover, lemon balm, chickweed, dandelion, and my favorite, stinging nettles, will be popping up all around us to offer an array of healthy edible spring greens.
One of my favorite spots to find them, marking the beginning of harvest season, is along the moist ditches of the Galloping Goose Regional Trail.
Nettles are also high in nutrients and are a great superfood. I also grow nettle on my sub-acre herb farm and use nettles in my Earth's Herbal tea recipes that you can find at our local Habit Coffee shop.
