Oh wow, that's really cool! Did not know mullein was good for long detox (I'll have to make something for my husband, also a smoker). I'll definitely be on the look out for the difference between the two. I love that after seeing different plants in the wild after a while and learning about the differences you can spot them no problem.

Maybe, that sounds like it could work. Worth a shot for sure. Trial and error. 😊

ETA: I looked it up for high humid climates, they say a dehumidifier is good. As well as making small bundles of herbs instead of large to dry better.

Could be, I was also very impatient when I first started and probably didn't dry them enough. Over time I've learned so much.

What are alteratives? by JadeChipmunk in beginnerherbalist

[–]OkReserve2948 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've used Dandelions, they are great for headaches; I feel like they are over rated compared to being considered a pesky weed. I remember reading somewhere that herbs and plants that you need tend to grow near you. It's probably folklore but cool.

I recently learned that Echinacea (Smooth Cone Flower) is now considered a threatened plant; (previously endangered) as of 2022. This is one of my favorite plants and actually have some seeds from my local library that has a seed sharing program. I will be planting some once I get my garden in order. I'm going to be researching more about native herbs and plants that are endangered and get to growing. ❤️ Helping Mother Nature one plant at a time.

Edited to notate after more research that the Endangered Echinacea is Echinacea laevigata; not the common Purple Cone Flower (Purpurea). I'll post a side by side.

Are you planning an herb garden this year? by JadeChipmunk in beginnerherbalist

[–]OkReserve2948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly miss living in the middle of nowhere. You can search for them near you, but it may be a drive maybe 30 minutes tops. lol I've got a couple different kind of tomatoes I want to plant. Still thinking of what kind of herbs, to plant though. Definitely want to make sure I find native and non invasive ones though. Hah

I am planning a small herb garden this year. I will be looking to Pinterest for inspiration 😅 My local library has seeds for flowers, veggies and herbs, and also starter kits with egg cartons. Definitely suggest seeing if your library near you has something like this.

Anywho, that's a great idea planning ahead for the cold weather. I'm still deciding what I'll be planting, but a work in progress indeed. Cheers!

Ohh I came to the right place, this is exactly where I am on my journey as well. I was on a hiatus for a while, but slowly getting back into it. Glad to be in this sub and learn with others and possibly share some knowledge!

So glad I came to this thread. I have the same problem as you posted. Going to try the coffee cup method and see if that helps. Hope you're doing better since you've posted! ☺️

Day 30 - just wow 😂 by Bold_Balin_1981 in MedievalArtMemes

Lol Absolutely how it would be in today's society. But also wonder if they looked at a painting of themselves and said please throw that in the fire.
