Foraging Requires Focus
There’s a short window a particular food and herb is available and if you want more than a taste ot trial amount you have to devote some time to harvesting.
That could be in a number of short chunks through a week or a dedicated day to go after it.
Right now Im focusing on Spruce catkins, next week it will be Spruce tips, and mixed in there lilacs and then after that…
So much to come
It’s an abundant time of year
Get after it
💫
