We are going heavy on the strawflowers this year as we have so many in the gardens and they are stunning!

💐 Ashfield Farm Store Hannah Morano
💐 Old Deerfield Craft Fair Sept 19-20 Old Deerfield Craft Fairs
💐 Garlic & Arts Festival Sept 26-27 NQuabbinG&A

Artemisia varieties we use are sweet Annie, mugwort and wormwood, all offer us protection. This plant has a deep connection to the moon and is named after Artemis, the goddess of the hunt.

Artemisia is naturally antiviral, anti parasite and very protective of the divine feminine energy. I hang them around my house and doorways to keep out unwanted energy and spirits.

Place them on an altar, table or hang on your door to invite only what you truly desire into your life.

Beauty is medicine! 💐🌿✨🌿💐

Even when the garden is a mess of weeds, the peaches prevail. Nature is so generous. Some things don’t do well and others thrive. I’ve never had a year of nothing in the garden, nature wants to feed us. For that, I am grateful.

Time to freeze some peaches and give the extra away. My town has a little free veggie table so I will stock it well with peaches this week thanks to the earth.

Tulsi peach jam anyone?!

Low iron and ferritin (iron reserve) is more common than we think. And it’s preventable. If we catch it. If you’re feeling tired especially before and after your period, hair is falling out, dizzy or sensitive to light, it may be time to get labs done.

There are many causes of low iron - that’s why it’s best treated case by case so we get to the root of the issue. Maybe it’s heavy periods, not enough iron (heme or non heme) in the diet, low stomach acid, or an absorption issue.

A few key takeaways since I’ve learned I am anemic:
🩸take iron supplements two hours away from coffee and black/green tea as polyphenols disrupt iron absorption
🩸the foods highest in iron are: liver, spleen, kelp, nutritional yeast, beets and beet greens, lentils, molasses, pumpkin and squash seeds
🩸iron biglycinate is less hard on the stomach and some brands I trust for iron supplements are Thorne and Pure Encapsulations
🩸be sure they have vitamin C as it helps absorb iron
🩸 Lactoferrin from bovine colostrum can be helpful
🩸yellowdock syrup and liquid iron are great but if you’re already anemic they may not be able to catch up enough
🩸If heavy periods are causing low iron then consider herbs and BC to slow bleeding. Yunnan Bai Yao a Chinese medicine can slow the bleeding down.
🩸Caffeine reliance for energy is counterproductive IMO because it drains our kidney reserves of energy
🩸Turn to adaptogenic herbs for stamina and rehmannia for blood building
🩸Talk to your doc and herbalist for more suggestions - you don’t have to go it alone.

Priorities. The plans are the plants. It’s a gift to wake up most days with the autonomy and freedom to choose what I do with my time.

I have never had any interest in entertaining other people’s agendas for me. I do what I want when I want. Life is too short and precious to walk away from what my heart desires.

True love. Deep peace. Joy. Freedom. Learning. Curiosity. Foraging. Gathering with kindred spirits.

It could all end at any moment so why deny yourself what you want?

Fill your basket. Bring home a bouquet. Let the land ground you. It’s peaceful and abundant right now in the gardens. There is so much to see and learn about during harvest season.

Register for the tour on my workshop page on my website. Hope to see you soon!

Would you eat these mushrooms? Black Trumpets are actually considered “choice” or one of the best flavors for wild mushrooms. Cooked with butter and served over pasta, mmmhmmm!

Always be 100% sure what you’re cooking is edible.
Only take a few
Leave the rest to make more
Give thanks
Only take what you’ll consume
Carry in your shirt because who brings baskets on all their hikes?

Be careful, herbs start creeping into your life one plant at a time. First it’s a small shelf. Then it’s a pantry. Eventually it’s a room, a greenhouse, a farm, an apothecary, and a store. Slippery slope! 🤣
