Originally published in June, 2022, this article has received yet another update at the very end. This is a link to a documentary filmed roughly 20 years ago, that exposes dangers of the Big Pharma answer to medicating ADHD children, and the behavioural concerns asked in the process. It still concerns me that a herb was discovered that does the exact same thing as the Big Pharma drugs! It is my continued hope, that parents will explore all other factors in their "affected" child's life and give the necessary remedies at least a month's worth of effort each, before resorting to herbs or drugs that will artificially modify their child's behaviour.

Finally got this year’s Wild Meadow poster up on our little fence outside. This is what’s growing this year. I don’t have the Iris pointed out in this poster, as it isn’t visible from the lane as of yet. But it’s not far from the pansies/violets and horsetail. The third iris got eaten by some critter last winter.
No pics! Experienced the biggest haul of narrowleaf plantain ever in our almost-9 years of foraging! A property we have permission to forage on is slowly mowing down all the weeds along their fences, and I realized almost too late that we should have been gathering the Crane's Bill (also known as true geranium according to latin genus information) a few days ago. So I ran around gathering that and pineapple weed when I realized the narrowleaf plantain may get threatened with the mower too. By the time I was done, we had 2/3rds of a grocery bin full of Crane's Bill, a good sized haul of pineapple weed, almost a full grocery bag of narrowleaf plantain, some yarrow that had gone to flower, an arrowleaf balsamroot top (full set of leaves, it left its root behind), a bit of sheep sorrel, and a few strands of purple dead nettle. It appears purple dead nettle's season might be over now. I was surprised to see the sheep sorrel and would have let it continue to grow if it hadn't been in the path of the mower. There's a lot of wild mustard along that path, but we have quite a bit already dried in storage, so I didn't grab that. Now I have to rinse it all as the area is quite dusty it all came from. My daughter suggested doing it after I did dishes, but that means waiting for the drip dry to finish, then putting away all the dishes, THEN I can reach the cold water tap to rinse the greens before laying them out. . . *sigh*. . . should have done the rinsing first! I don't want to do it in the bathroom, because the drain needs cleaning out already and while it DOES drain, I haven't done the cleanout yet, so it takes awhile. . . . . . when tasks pile up on each other. . .
Quercetin is found in various foods, the most popular of which is the citrus family. It's also found in apples, asparagus, black tea, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, grapes, green tea, red lettuce, onions, parsley, plums, strawberries, tomatoes, and more.

We don't have to succomb to fear and by extension, government-media control over how we think and respond. Be proactive now.

Today's foraging run was very successful! The catnip and nettle at one zone are growing very well at the moment, but the nettle is already showing signs of an early demise this year, similar to last year. We've obtained permission to get back into another property we used to forage at a few years ago where both grow, so we'll see how they fair there this year as summer goes along. Peppergrass is growing again, and quite large at today's zone! A similar-looking plant known as a type of cress, is also growing, and similar to peppergrass, is also a member of the mustard family with peppery-tasting seeds. We gathered half a bag of chokecherry flowers today, just a few from each bush we came across. One pic here is a smaller bush in the foreground, with a massive chokecherry bush behind it in the distance! They call this thing a shrub??? It's a full-on tree here that grows in bush-like thickets! Ashley had to take a photo of a hawthorn tree that had buddied up with a nettle patch! We often see hawthorn with canada thistle growing around it, but this particular tree chose nettle as it's partner. Honestly, both the nettle and the hawthorn look very photogenic in this shot!
Once we were home, the catnip filled several trays, and the nettle is in a blue bin again until I do some crushing on Thursday. The flowers went onto trays in the window in the house, and I'm thinking the peppergrass should probably be coming in too. We'll see how they do outside, but I'm concerned they'll blow away. We picked them green this year, as last year the brown seeds didn't have much heat. The green seeds seem to have a bit of bite fresh, so drying them is the next experiment. It would be nice to have a wild source of this flavour type if possible.
