I went foraging today and got bramble leaves, sticky weed, nettles and also some mint which was surprising! First of all, are all varieties of mint okay? And how do I de-thorn the bramble leaves, can I feed the stalks and branches?
I also got some other plants and I'm not sure what they are, can someone identify them for me?
I didnt get this one but there was a fair bit about, thought it might be yarrow? Most of them had white flowers, the ones on this one were actually less pink than they look.
I thought this was plantain, am I right?
The plant in the ground:
After I cut it:
I thought this was sows thistle, but then I saw the one below and thought that was it instead! The first one is not actually spikey though, although it looks it.
this next one IS spikey!
And finally, I thought this was mint but I realised when I got home doesnt smell minty! Any ideas?
And finally, how do I dry them? At the moment they are all in cardboard boxes lined with newspaper in the kitchen.
Thanks in advance!
