Hi! Great Blog! violet flowers can also be steeped in 1 cup of boiling water for a few days, than boiled with 1 to 2 cups of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar (to prevent crystallization) in order to yield a violet syrup. It’s great on pancakes and a great source of vit. C! That’s what I did with the violets in my yard, this year. Violet syrup dates to the medieval period, in fact.

I love Mullein! I wish it grew better here. I just gave you a blog award on my blog. Check it out.

I just found an awesome field with mullien! Oils and tinctures as well as drying going nicely. I’ve never used anything like this yet though. I’d love to hear more about how you use it.

Great to see you posting again, Tammy! I love mullein and have been anxiously waiting to find some new plants. I made some root tincture from a couple of plants I managed to wildcraft when we were on holiday a couple of years ago. This year my parents have four plants in the rickyard where the hens run around. They pecked at the leaves terribly in the spring months, but now they are growing the tall spikes, I’m hoping they will leave them alone until I can cut them to dry and then make oil.

Hey thanks for the info~! I knew mullien is a good herb for respiratory but didn’t know about the pain-relieving qualities of the root~! Excellent~! Have bunches & know now what to do with them…Thanks~!

Glad to hear from you, Tammy. I was afraid you weren’t around anymore.

I first got drawn to it a couple of years ago but didn’t know what to do with it. Now I do. Thanks for the link to Jim’s excellent article (he’s a personal Herbal Hero of mine!). It makes sense that the tall straight structure of the plant is very like the spinal column. I am hoping to gather some to make a flower essence and leaf oil next week.
Thanks for the reminder!
Green Blessings
