It's been a weird spring here in the NE. No rain to speak of and farmers are having to irrigate in APRIL!! Still really chilly at night (40's and 30's). I have gotten some fruit trees planted hosui and kosui pear, two kinds of apples, peach, and lots of berry bushes. I planted elderberry this year and hope to make syrup for cold and flu season.
I recently made a batch of dandelion syrup. It's good for high bp, and is filled with c and other vitamins. Just make sure not to take them from near the road because of exhaust. I also have been making a nice salad with the greens with balsamic vinegar. I am hoping to learn more about wild edibles. Looking at some May apples in my pasture to make jam in the late summer. Only the fruits are edible.
Must run, but looking forward to hearing what all of you are doing. Pam
