Wow, Lady A! Spring greens already? We still can't see the ground for snow! All I'm harvesting is thyme and rosemary from my windowsill plants - but I love thyme and rosemary.

My oldest just told me that he's been eating 'wild' greens when walking into town, I'm so proud of him!

Yarrow! My grandson is visiting and he has asked if we can go mushroom hunting! Maybe we will find some oysters.

ItalianBee, I LOVE Rosemary! Thyme, I'm still getting to know in the kitchen and I haven't had much need of it medicinally.
I read where it is specific for whooping cough, and bronchitis, the PNW has many cases of whooping cough, even in the vaccinated ( are newly vaccinated 'shedding' virus ??). I wonder if thyme tea would also work as a preventive....let's say one has kids in school and a classmate has contracted whooping cough, or again the newly vaccinated 'shedding' the bacterium. My oldest son had a rough bout with whooping cough in the early 80's, even though he was up on his vaccines he still got sick...oh my, THAT was a horrible cough!
Thymes uses include expectorant, antispasmodic, bronchodilator, carminative, antioxidant, antibacterial against Staph aureus, antifungal, diuretic, vermifuge.
I guess I'll be trying to grow Thyme again, it's an annual in my garden, I just cannot overwinter thyme.

I love rosemary as well! It doesn't over winter well here but some folks have success bringing it in. I've hardly used thyme at all, even in cooking. My son also had whooping cough when he was young. It was a direct result of the vaccine. it was the final thing that helped me choose to stop vaccinations. My daughters were never vaccinated, never had antibiotics, and rarely had colds.
I like to make Rosemary oil. I love it on my skin and hair!
the ramps are starting to poke through the leaves! I get so excited this time of year!

On the subject of overwintering thyme and rosemary, I just have a container garden so I bring them inside. They are the only two of the herbs I grow that have made it through the winter, even inside, on a consistent basis. Rosemary doesn't mind my cold bedroom window, but I have had success with the thyme by moving the pot out of the kitchen window (where it lives) at night. Plus the variety might make a difference - right now I have plain old garden thyme, but I've had other varieties, not all as successful.

We've just been hit with a couple more multi-inch nor'easters, so we're still not seeing ground or any spring greens.... sigh.
