This is also my first visit and I really apprec all your careful work here, Ashley. I am especially winey, a little beery. Also, as a suprise this year, a jewelweed plant sprouted up in the yard, and its really beautiful and useful, (treats all skin issues esp poison ivy and stings VERY WELL) I live in Portland OR and there is a lot of free booze on trees, many people do not use their fruit at all and are glad to see it being made. I often share the results if the tree owners drink wine. best
My friend Colleen (from Grow Forage Cook Ferment) came to my house for a visit, and she's from Oregon. She saw the Jewelweed everywhere (like a lawn) and said, "OMG is that Jewelweed? Did you plant it? Where'd you get the seed?" I laughed and laughed. I could harvest it by the tractor trailer load out here, but apparently it's much rarer in the PNW? So lovely that you got some surprise plants though!
Yes, I have not seen a single plant out there in nature, perhaps a migratory bird or someones yard with the intentional planting of jewelweed, it sure is pretty and it was a mystery what it was till it bloomed....i am curious about how the seeds will look as well....best Ashley
