last night i kept looking at the 1 L containers and kept thinking ” that would be a lot of berries ” , so this morning i went and picked up two smaller berry containers, 454 ml and 600 ml
and that seemed like a good decision because it seems someone else has found the mulberries, i had a hard time filling the 600 ml container and had to use a stick to pull down some higher mulberry branches
and for greens i went with burdock stems, used some smaller stems near the tops of 2nd year burdocks, and will be trying two longer/older stems from 1st year burdock
did a quick rinse with the stems and boiled them for 6 minutes
BRUNCH – mulberries, burdock stems, and tuna
these stems are a little more chewy than the burdock stems i had earlier in the season, but they’re still palatable, next time i harvest burdock stems, i’ll cut them up into smaller pieces

grabbed some catnip leaves for testing as a bug repellant

everywhere i look, the Yucca flowers are dropping off the stalks, i’ll see if i can find some flower petals that are still fresh

ROSE HIP ALLEY DESTROYED
the City of Windsor must have done this today,
i named this abandoned railway Rose Hip alley because of all the Rose bushes i saw back in April
and now most of them are gone
i walked along one edge and came back along the other edge
i grazed on day lilies while i was there and brought some home
SUPPER – day lilies and tuna
there was an 8+ foot wild parsnip here i was gonna dig for the root, the root is there somewhere, damned if i know where it it now
i’ll take weekly pics showing the regrowth at Rose Hip alley
