It is officially autumn now as we just had the fall equinox this week. The air is crisp and we had our first frost overnight here in central Alberta. That means it was time for me to pick my pumpkins and squash and harvest the rest of my garden- just carrots and potatoes left in the ground. Did you know that many plants are actually better to forage and pick AFTER the first frost, which can make them sweeter, including carrots and berries. I personally love the fall berries in Alberta and these are three berries I will be foraging in the upcoming days. I have plans for soap for all three but also love to use them in my kitchen.
Rose Hips - you can use them to make a Vitamin C rich tea
Chokecherries- you can make yummy syrup and jelly
High Bush Cranberries- makes a delicious jelly (recipe in my eBook Modern Wildcrafting)
Fall is a time when leaves begin to drop and you can visually see the plant’s energy moving from the top down to its roots. Preparing for winter. So for herbalists, this is a time to be digging roots to use such as dandelion root or burdock root.
