Ooh nice! Those are our favorites too. I sometimes enjoy elecampane tea or beer. Someday I'll try making a syrup ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ
โ๏ธ๐๐ผ Blessed be cross-quarter day, day of the #goddess of #fertility and #renewal, this first day of #spring
๐๐ป Happy #Imbolc, Goddess #Brigid day, Lunar New Year, Tแบฟt, Chinese New Year and the day that goes by many, many other names, celebrated by cultures traditional and modern alike throughout temperate northern hemisphere of Mother Earth.
๐ How beautiful to feel connected to all our sisters and brothers around the globe on this special day!
โจ๏ธ We celebrate cross quarter day, the day falling between winter solstice and spring equinox as a significant time, welcoming the renewal of life and fertility, honoring the goddess of life.
โ๏ธ Though, for many of us, the days are still cold, day length is steadily growing longer, tree buds are swelling and other subtle first signs of awakening are welcome sights.
๐ค Our family wishes you many blessings of joy, growth, nourishment, warmth, light and fertility as we move into spring!

Oh interesting. It's arid here in the summer but wet in winter. I notice mullein comes up in recently burned soil where other weeds wont come up and eroded soil too. Maybe try scratching the soil a little first if its compact. Also cold moist stratification can help. If you don't have a cold winter or if the soil is not moist in winter when it is cold, the seed can take two or more seasons to germinate, while they lay in wait. Good luck with the controlled sowing in pots... that should work, especially if you pre strat in the fridgr! ๐๐๐ผ
It is really sweet! I love growing them and they are a favorite in wreaths and just by themselves too ๐๐๐ป
Yay, how do you ally with mullein? Did you get any seeds to sprout? They require light, so it's best to surface sow and not cover the seeds. Definitely, so beautiful!!

How does nature store seeds? This was a question I asked when we worked on designing our seed packets. Looking at two examples in the garden - a poppy pod and a tomatillo - I was amazed by natureโs elegant design in form, function, and beauty.
Do you have a favorite seed pod?
Here's a link to our Rattle Poppy seeds shown in the reel!

We resolve to revolve our culture into natural connection, because losing connection to land is cripplingโlike losing a lung (or a heart).
We are literally re-membering, putting ourselves back together. (Together)
Our remembering revolution is a peaceful revolving back into connectionโrewiring our connections, re-volting the pathways, the electrical currents our neuro networks followโrevolving out of dependence and into interdependence.
Can war & greed culture sustain our hearts when it normalizes scarcity, fear and hate?
(Those cultural byproducts are revolting me.)
No, our heart knows the way.
We feel revolted by scarcity culture, so we re-volt peacefully, together, as naturally as breathing together, with our re-membered lungโblowing a new peaceful wind of shared abundanceโre-currenting the prevailing wind to carryโthrough our re-membered heartโlove, joy and beauty into a culture of connected hearts.

For sure! That what I did with seeds as well to get them established, hold boundaries with grass and have abundant nourishment and medicine available all year round! I share a lot on that in the link in case you're curious to learn more. I really think mullein is everything permaculture folks tout daimon to be for soil building in regions without regular rainfall. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐
