I felt a little silly planting these in my community garden plot as my fellow gardeners were weeding them out of theirs. Alas, it feels good to feel silly, and oh, how I love nibbling these greens! In year two I dug up the roots and processed them according to the instructions in “Making Plant Medicine,” and as we head into another spring I think of Strictly Medicinal Seeds every time I sip my homemade bitters, pausing in awe and gratitude at the tremendous ways my life has been expanded and enriched by the seeds and wisdom sown here. Thank you!

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for staying in touch! The best way to process dandelion root for tincture making is fresh root at 1:2 (75A:25W), blended in a blender. See page 158 of “Making Plant Medicine” where this and several other options are described. Richo
