I'm starting my wild herbal studies again , my first herbal ally is dandelion. I will be doing an in depth study of dandelion. I'm going to try some recipes and make some medicinals. I have started a new blog for my herbal studies , the link is on the left , if you're interested.
We had more rain over the weekend , so the garden looks good. I hope to plant the corn , greenbeans and squash soon. My Daddy always told us , it was time to plant the corn when you hear the whip~poor~will calls, haven't heard them yet.
I've been reading alot of gardening blogs and have found some wonderful gardening information ,that I plan to incorporate into my garden. One blogger does everything she can to attract toads /frogs , to help with bug control. Such a wonderful common sense organic idea , I've overlooked. I will be adding some frog huts and boards to my garden. I have one frog hut , my DMIL bought for me many moons ago. I have used it in my herb garden for decoration purposes , but I will be moving it to the veggie garden. I also read about digging a small trench and laying a board over , this gives toads a place to hide from predators and gives them a place to get out of the heat. She also recommends a small fish pond near the garden to attract frogs/toads.
~ Hope you are Blessed with many toads in your Garden ~

Good luck with your garden. I know the frogs and toads will love you, especially if you have a little pond for them. They don't need much! Just a few blades of water grass. Sometimes I miss NC. I haven't heard the Whiporwhill yet either. We do have them here even in the city. Well, they stick to the woodsy areas, but I can still hear them. xoxoxo
Hi Joyceann,

I remember gatheirng wild greens with my Grandmother. I try more and more each yr. to go back to those ways of life ,I enjoy the simple side so very much!
Thanks for all you share.
Love,Hugs,Blessins'Lib
One year I made a sort of dandelion gravy. We had visited an amish community and I tried it there and then hunted down a recipe when I got home. It was really yummy and now I'm wanting to make it again. Yumm!
JoyceAnn LOLOLOL I had to come back after your sweet comment on my blog, cuz you called Mz. Wee Mz. Wiz and I am rolling on the floor laughing. When I tell her, she will prolly laugh too. She does a good "parrot" of my laugh. I know you collect feathers. Want a couple of Blue and Gold Macaw feathers? I'd be delighted to send to you! I used to save them and send to a girl in Arizona who makes masks with feathers, but I've lost her address so now I don't keep them. So let me know if you'd like a Mz. Wiz feather or two. LOL xoxoxoxoxo
