HERB GATHERING

Due to the early canicule (heatwave) here in south-west France, a lot of herbs, flowers and seeds are ready to harvest much sooner than usual. So our resident herbalist went out into the garden and our immediate area to gather, then dry, many medicinals for future use. End June/early July 2025

Dockseed in bag after collection and winnowing, and after toasting in the oven.

This will be ground into flour at a later date; meanwhile it is being stored in glass jars in the cool and dark.
