Herbs
Very interesting Worth. I have read of Vitex in herbal books. I know of some old timer's remedies that grow wild up here. When I was little, my grandma would make tea from a shrub called "Kinnikinnick", which is described in the book "Discovering Wild Plants Alaska, Western Canada and the Northwest", as good for kidney and female conditions. We always ate Lambsquarter or Pig Weed in lieu of spinach in the summer. I prefer it to spinach which I have a time growing anyhow as it bolts fast, even up here. I have a couple of books on Alaska's medicinal and edible plants which I refer to at times. When I lived in SE Alaska, we would pick a green called "Goosetongue". Also collected different kelps. Thanks for listing a couple of your wild edibles. I would like to hear about more of them.
