With the wife being off the mountain, I might have to eat a salad.
I do!Any of you grow chamomile and make your own tea?
Do you use flowers, leaves, roots ? One or allI do!
You can use both flowers and leaves but the leaves are pretty bitter. The flowers have a little less of the sesquiterpenes than the leaves, I think. (Those are good for cardiovascular health and reducing cancer growth.) I could be wrong, but I know those are usually bitter.Do you use flowers, leaves, roots ? One or all
Yes definitely. Chamomile, nettles, pine needles, dandelion, willow teas. Another tea from a tree but I only know the hungarian name "Harshfa". Goldenrod tea and clove/lemon/cinnamon/ginger tea also.Any of you grow chamomile and make your own tea?
Yay! Almost all of my Blueberry cuttings and my fruit rootstocks are rooting! I'm so happy. I can't wait to start grafting this year.
I have some fresh scions coming. Do any of you guys trade scion wood? I'd like to start a trade here locally.
Most fruit trees like apples are grown on a different tree's roots so they are more resistant to diseases, are smaller in size, etc. Apples, especially, aren't very good grown from seed. So they take the good fruiting tree, cut off pieces of wood called scions, and seal it to the rootstocks of trees that grow smaller or are disease resistant. If you line them up, they grow together and you get a tree with both characteristics.I don't have a clue what you are talking about.
Yeah, it's not very common here for people to do their own grafting, so maybe it was just the area I lived in before?Ok I gotcha. Never heard the term
