Early Summer

It's definitely summer.  The light is brighter and more intense. Days are long - heat and humidity hang in the air, punctuated by heavy rain and brief respites of cool. The flowering trees have formed fruits, whether edible or inedible to humans.

Now we are in the thick of harvestable famous, and not so famous, plants. Weeds and garden plants are interesting. We've still got edibles everywhere. We harvest from fields and edges of the water, in the shade and in the sun, and on the edge of both. Oh! And in your own yard, of course!

This section will focus on the signatures to understand the uses of the plants, real cases from practice, and which parts of the plants to harvest and when (with some tincture and medicinal oil preparation sprinkled in for good measure).

Plants are moving fast everywhere you look, above and below and to either side of you. Make sure you keep on going for walks. So much to see and touch and smell and... taste!
