⁂

Trees are starting to leaf out and flower one by one in my area, and I'm using the opportunity to try to learn them a little bit better. Turns out we have some pretty linden/American basswood/Tilleul americana relatively close by! I had enjoyed purchased linden leaves and flowers as tea before, but got a chance to try brewing fresh leaves. They are pretty nice. Maybe I can harvest some blooms in June this year. #nature #foraging #zone6b #zone7a #nativeplants
