Wow! I didn't know. Really pretty.

HI! Welcome :)

Glad you are safe. I'm so sorry to hear about the damage done to your town.

@baymule that is Meadowfoam (the picture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limnanthes_alba I use the oil as the carrier in my dandelion butter & salve. I buy the meadowfoam oil but in the future I want to grow it, and coldpress the seeds for oil but that time will come... it's on my list :) I...

@baymule If I'm making it for gifts, I take each petal off. If I'm making it for home/family use, I just take the whole flower (off stem) and leave the green base in. It doesn't effect the quality but does look a tinged with green and then you cannot tell easily if it molds. It lasts very long...

Me too. Meadowfoam is also a "weed" PS. Anyone grow Meadowfoam?

Sure... I use my own recipe... I gather as many dandelion heads as I can (flowers). I try to get at least 2 mason jars full. (yes, I ask all the neighbors for theirs too ). Then I spread them between 2 screens to dry (they have a high moisture content) I let them dry 2-3 days. (I don't want...

Not that I know of @digitS' It's known for help with sore muscles, achy & arthritic joints, rough, chapped skin.

I love dandelions myself as well. I don't eat them though, I make body butter, salves.

You must be very excited! Way to go :)

Whew! Took me a while, but I'm all caught up. 119 pages of laughter - you all made my night :lol: THANK YOU!

Oh and I forgot to comment about your title... As far as I know, our skin (the biggest organ we have) is porous so it absorbs very well.

Violets are a great source of Vitamin C. You could eat them raw, make a tea, or even a poultice. Have you tried an elimination diet to see what you may be eating that is causing the reaction?

May the parrot bring you joy!

Congrats on the soup! It's such a great feeling to make something tasty and wholesome and then to have it waiting in the freezer for a hurried day! Looks like you have great answers for saving. I wanted to add that besides the batch, what I like to do is save some in an ice cube tray (then set...

Thank you all for the warm welcome! To answer some questions... I belong to a forum called HomesteadingToday and someone had this site in their signature. I say a tiny homestead because some get up in arms if you don't have acreage. :) What a homestead means to me is a home that is central...

I added my pin!

A great big hello! I found this website from another forum I frequent & thought I would pop in! It looks like a great place so I joined :) I live in PA with my husband, daughter (8) and mother (zone 7). My husband and I are both learning and loving to garden. We are nuts about eating from our...
