Free Herby treats.

You cant get any easier than this stuff roughly chopped, soaked in cold water overnight, then filtered - Yellowhammer has been quaffing it for 2 days straight as it tastes like the colour green !

extract from :

Goosegrass or Cleavers - Galium aparine

Some of the old herbals claim that drinking the cold infusion of cleavers for sixty days will make your skin so beautiful that everyone will fall in love with you! Quite a reputation to live up to, worth a try? Cleavers or "sticky willy" is actually a very gentle detoxing herb which helps to clean the lymphatic system without side effects and that's why it would help give skin a healthy glow.  I have found this herb to be very helpful in skin disorders and to reduce general sluggishness after winter. You will have seen it on walks in the countryside and in the city, as it does grow absolutely everywhere.


Another 'weed' which tastes delish is Garlic Mustard. 
It grows everywhere and looks like nettle, but with heart shaped softer leaves and no sting.
Pesto a big bunch of leaves with garlic cloves, chilli, spinach, pine nuts, cheese and quality oil.
