EAT THE WEEDS! Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is an invasive plant in my neck of the woods, so I pulled a boatload of it in the backyard before it went to seed.

I’m fermenting the roots for a horserashisy condiment, and kept some of the stalks to cook with dinner tonight. Free food!

Got garlic mustard? Pull it!

Learning botanical Latin comes with great responsibility…and opportunity! 🤣

Fun fact: Botanical Latin is not a kooky term for scientific names. It's the language used for the formal taxonomic descriptions of plants.

Have you ever seen a fairy ring? It’s a groovy phenomenon that occurs with some types of fungus in the ground that cause the fruiting body (mushroom) of the fungus to form a full or partial ring around an area. There are sciencey explanations and really interesting lore, but I just love finding them.

Extra bonus: they attract cryptids, as evidenced by this photo of my favorite Sasquatch/husband. 🍄

It’s not all tea and tincture around here. I checked on this year’s wild grapes while enjoying a glass of the wild grape pyment (grape wine made with honey) we made last year. Cheers! 🍇💚🍃
