It's Just My Type

The Green Invasion!

Do you know what I find so amazing about the month of March? It seems like every year I forget what the arrival of Spring looks like and every March I find myself amazed anew. Somewhere between last week and this week, the world around me went from the dull washed-out colors of winter to a vibrant green so intense that it is achingly beautiful. In just one week. One week has transformed mud into a bed of growing things. One week and I need to change the entrance reducer on our one remaining bee hive. One week and my herbs are coming back to me. 
comfrey
Comfrey (the wound healer)
violets
Violets (to break up mucus)
mugwort
mugwort (to worm goats)
motherwort
motherwort (to lower blood pressure)
lemon balm
lemon balm (a calming tea)
​Aren't they beautiful? Each of them with their own uses, waiting to aid my family in the coming year. Do you use any herbal remedies for your family? I'd love to hear about them in the comments below.

    I have an ongoing interest in dystopian fiction, both reading and writing it. I’m a fan of simple living and draw inspiration for my writing from my love of old-fashioned skills and my small hobby farm. 

    I live in the Midwest with my husband, twin daughters, and an ever-shifting menagerie of pets and livestock; all of whom have been subjected to a wide array of weird-tasting herbs since I took up the hobby of herbalism. Thankfully nobody seems to mind.
