Found this plant friend by the sea- Mugwort. I’ve been looking for mugwort ever since I moved to lutruwita but no one seemed to be growing it. Very excited to transplant a wee piece back to my garden (in a pot IYKYK)

Nettle (urtica dioica) time to harvest in southern lutruwita & what a harvest!! I’ve got bags drying to use all year round in tea & fresh to make soup & pesto. This is just turning into a foraging page (which I totally love)
Nettle has little stinging needles which has been used to temporarily improve arthritic pain - give it a try?? (Caution here if you are allergic or can’t tolerate the itch- and as always start small if you are going to try this)
Generally I use it as a nutritive tonic in food and as a tea as it is full of iron & other minerals but is also considered a cleansing tonic. Both building up/nourishing & cleansing by being a diuretic. Which is my favourite kind of tonic. So many of us need nourishing rather than the heroic detox cleansing that is often popularised. Plus it’s a pirate plant that just loves sh*tty soil! Think of that as a metaphor for what it’s doing inside you! Anyway I made a big pot of parsnip, potato and nettle soup & dried the rest for tea. I recommend overnight infusions to extract the minerals- make a pot of tea and then leave in the fridge overnight to drink the next day.
