Shore Roses



If your into collecting wild herbs, now is the time to collect shore rose petals.  I have a couple of quarts already dried and stored up.  You can use them in homemade bath salts, homemade lotions, or just put them in with some other herbs for a pretty smelling potpourri.  I just collected the petals and put them in my dehydrator for about 15- 20 min, then let them cool and store them in a jar in a dark place.  I'm putting these ones in with my Calendula for a nice body lotion.  I also noticed that the red clover is ready to be harvested as well.  Red clover is an amazing blood purifier and it's also good for breathing problems.  I drink a tea that is chock full of red clover!
