Still at home. Still playing it safe.
But, if you walk slowly through the woods behind my house, over the sandstone ridge and down into the hollow to the wetland where it is cool and shady and the soil is heavy and damp you'll discover that black cohosh is beginning to bloom. That means it is June.
The roots and rhizomes of black cohosh was part of the Native American medicinal herb kits. That practice was carried on by the Europeans that came along later. It is still available in health-food stores.
And for those on the go, a gram in an Instant.
