Excited to be a part of this community!! My ‘first post’ to the Student Forum. Grateful to Doc Jones and his family for this academy with community. Â
We have an amazingly abundant amount of Purple Deadnettle on our property. I have harvested two brown grocery bag fulls last night due to roofers coming today, here, to replace our home and garage roofing. I have found it surrounding our home on the south to west side of the home and then on the same with our barn. I identified it looked like a member of the mint family. Excitedly, I am correct. I am getting there in identification. 🙂
I am thinking on doing a vinegar wash and then letting this payload of a harvest dehydrate by dry air and salads. If you have any suggestions on your experience in drying this herb for preservation, I welcome you to advise this newer student to herbalism. Thank you much! 🙂
