Wildcrafting – Using Your Weeds
Although not standard “garden” elements, my weeds are also harvested for culinary and medicinal use. I host Wildcrafting Wednesdays here every week, and also write a “Weekly Weeder” series during the growing season, along with other weed related posts.
Weekly Weeder #1 – Introduction
Weekly Weeder #6 – Queen Anne’s Lace
Weekly Weeder #8 – Butter and Eggs
Weekly Weeder #9 – Canada Goldenrod
Weekly Weeder #10 – Common Milkweed
Weekly Weeder #11 – Evening Primrose
Weekly Weeder #12 – New England Aster
Weekly Weeder #13 – Common Mullein
Weekly Weeder #14 Common Plantain
Weekly Weeder #15 – Shepherd’s Purse
The Weekly Weeder series will return in spring 2012.
What great photos! That was fun! I love the idea of a round garden. I do everything on the side of hill so it’s all in raised beds that are sort of terraced. Your garden is beautiful! Love the 360 view from the center of it! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Susan. It’s great to look back at the summer photos and dream this time of year.
