RE: Harvesting Medicinal Herbs, For Our Health And Ecology Circle! (And Yes Check Out Those Drying Racks!)

What an amazing post @trucklife-family. I seem to miss all the best posts. So I'm happy to have seen the feature on @naturalmedicine. And THAT is wild lettuce. We have plantain all over our SA mountainside as well. And the wild lettuce grows prolifically too. But I didn't know what it was. Thank you for teaching me a new herbie fact. I love my herbs. Would it be wild lettuce because it looks similar or could you actually eat it as you would the tamed lettuce? I love using calendula in my soap making. But it is rather a trial to get it to grow here.

I have never eaten it myself @buckaroobaby only used it for medicinal purposes. I always have some calendula growing, I am lucky that it does well here, I love to infuse it in oil xxx
