Thanks, Juanita, I was looking for info as mine is very prolific and I want to make a tincture for year around! I'll also check out what books by Matthew Woods my library has. Thanks for sharing all your great tips. BTW, on May 22, I joined Jim McDonald and about 30 other her enthusiasts in the Toledo area for a walk through Wildwood Metro park. It was wonderful to hear his voice and humor!

It's such a generous plant isn't it. Wonderful you got to hang out with jim and a bunch of plant loving folk 💚 I loved our time together learning from him. Yeah - the best sense of humor and great herbal wisdom 🌱 I harvest mine in the Fall and make a fresh plant tincture and oil. Phyllis Light talks about cooking the oil till its lost the yummy smell - and then its done. I am going to try jim's oil method on the root this Fall that we learned in class last year.
