What plants should we bring to the Bloomfield Mark

What plants should we bring to the Bloomfield Market this weekend? Are you all excited about six packs or three inch pots for sale? Do you want flowers or herbs? What kinds? I’m trying to decide what to pack and I’m taking suggestions! #plantsale #marketseason #cuttingroot

Our drying room is full of fresh stinging nettles

Our drying room is full of fresh stinging nettles from our friends @whocooksforyoufarm and @whocooksforyoufarmpa We need so many nettles that we gave up on growing all of our own last year and absolutely love the amazing fresh greens we get. It beats weeding a nettle patch year round, that’s for sure! Dried nettle will be restocked in our online store in about a week. Nettle is a nephro-tropho-restorative- literally food for your kidneys. And you know who lives on top of your kidney beans? Your adrenal glands! Important food for the nervous system, high in mineral, high in protein, and a delicious tea, we are so happy to share these with you. Even when we buy dried nettles from small farms, I don’t think they compete with ours. #nettle #stingingnettle #cuttingroot

If you’ve preordered plants with us, you’ll so

If you’ve preordered plants with us, you’ll soon get an email about plant pick up. Why aren’t all the plants ready right now? It looks like they should be! But, some of them are too small to move out of the greenhouse and I don’t want to give anyone plants that will just die. I also want to harden off your plants before you come pick them up, putting them outside and letting them get used to the sun and the wind so they don’t go into shock. I just want you to have the most beautiful baby plants so that your garden will be beautiful! Here at the farm I have a rule- we don’t plant any wimpy plants. Any seedlings that look like they won’t make it, we skip because there is nothing worse than coming back to weed an area after some plants have died and the weeds have taken over! We want to same rule for you, so thank you for your patience as we sort through all these plant orders.

Oh these allergies! These tees are dripping pollen

Oh these allergies! These tees are dripping pollen and my eyes, my nose... oh my sinuses. Allerease Tincture and Spring Fever Tea are on sale for the week- check out cuttingroot.com to order

Wild weed walk Wednesday! Looking at wildflowers i

Wild weed walk Wednesday! Looking at wildflowers is my favorite. Touching the trunks of the trees shading the entire ecosystem below, creating the perfect scenario for them, that’s my favorite. Squealing with delight over shimmering petals, that’s my favorite. Spring ephemeral plant walk this Wednesday- sign up on the website- I will be capping attendance for this class because a plant walk with 20 people is just no fun.

First root harvest of the year! Thank you dandelio

First root harvest of the year! Thank you dandelion! I used to plant dandelions for harvest, and now we just go through the field digging up roots as we see them before we till for the season. We learned a lot about dandelion while we spent time with her, exactly what the roots are shaped like and how they feel, how it doesn’t really matter what you see above ground, some of the largest roots come from the smallest leaf clusters, and how the seeds spread and get planted together and then grow together, forming one plant from many seeds. Thank you farm apprentices for working in the field on Monday- through sun, rain, wind and everything in between. #dandelion #herbfarm #cuttingroot

UpComing Classes- Wild Weed Walk Wednesdays! Start

UpComing Classes- Wild Weed Walk Wednesdays! Starting this Wednesday 6-730 pm and meeting each Wednesday this month at a different location in Butler County. We will be taking a slow walk, looking at various medicinal, edible, rare and wild plants in Pennsylvania. We will use Newcombs Wildflower Guide and any other guidebooks you bring. This is my absolute favorite time of the year to see flowers- after a long dreary winter, maybe you’re feeling the same way. Come on out with us- sign up on our website, under the Classes tab. #herbwalk #plantwalk #wildplants #cuttingroot

But it takes a lot- our biweekly propane bill is nearly $800- phew y’all! that was a shock last week, but as the mornings are getting warmer I can count the days until we’ll be outside full time. I mean, I might have use my fingers and toes and yours too, but we’re almost there! #greenhouselove #cuttingroot

Fresh Cherry Bark! Cherry bark is always the first

Fresh Cherry Bark! Cherry bark is always the first herb we process in the spring time, and over the next two weeks we’ll have fresh cherry bark available for you to make your own cough syrups, cordials and more. I think of cherry as a nervine for the respiratory system, it just lowers the tension and stress the lungs are feeling to allow opening and space for you to breathe easier. It is also very effective at stopping a cough so it’s great for the night time when you are trying to get some much needed rest! #cherry #wildcherry #cuttingroot

Yesterday I cut elder branches to root to make new

Yesterday I cut elder branches to root to make new elder bushes! I’m dreaming of those elder flowers (good for fevers) and those elder berries (delicious defense against the flu) that are to come. Each year we sell rooted elder cuttings and whatever is left over I plant back into our meadows. This year, I’m going to populate this little creek, Crooked Run, with the elders, I think they’ll like it down there and maybe the birds will share the berries in late summer! Check out our plant sale to buy some elders for yourself or our dried herb page for some dried elderberries. #herbfarm #cuttingroot

First round of seeding is done! Here’s some ashw

First round of seeding is done! Here’s some ashwagandha seeds in process. You can see that the seeds come from the little red fruits growing on the plants in the last picture. Ashwagandha is in the nightshade family, so you save the seeds like you would tomato or pepper seeds- the fruit is gooey so we put the them in a jar with water after we harvest them and after a few days a lot of the pulpy fruit goo has sunk to the bottom. You can see from our seeding bowl that we don’t clean the seeds super well. To me, it’s a little treat for the seeds to be planted with their old plant parts- little bits of stems, seed casings, and all the fluff and stuff that make the seeds able to disperse. I like to think of it as protection and sustenance, a cheerleading squad right there in your new home with you! I mean, we’re asking a lot of these seeds right now, why not give them some company? #seedstarting #seedsaving #ashwagandha #herbfarm #localherbs #cuttingroot

Dahlias! Some of the most amazing flowers we grow

Dahlias! Some of the most amazing flowers we grow are dahlias. And you can to- we are selling sprouted tubers, which you can transplant into your garden in May along with all your other flowers. And dahlias are special because they grow from tubers, which, in our cold northern climate need to be dug up in the fall and stored in order for them to be viable next year. So you can dig them, and instead of just one plant you’ll have 5 or 6 the next year! Head over to our plant sale on our website to pick out some flowers and herbs for your gardens #dahlias #dalia #cuttingroot

Castor plant appreciation post: This magnificent p

Castor plant appreciation post: This magnificent plant towers at the entrance to our gardens and blesses our rows of sweet flowers and herbs. Her strong red stems grows to amazing heights. Her flowers, pollinated by ants, bloom throughout the season. Then, the beans form- the very thing that is pressed to create nourishing castor oil. The leaves, just look at that symmetry. And- all parts of this plant are poisonous! I know, makes me feel a little naughty. I’ve never harvested or processed castor, I grow it so my students can see her, revel in her, and appreciate her. This year, we’re growing more varieties than ever, head over to our Live Plant Sale on our website to reserve your plants for pick up in May. A few plants have already all been spoken for so we’ve removed them from our lists. And make sure to add castor to yours (she likes water-you gotta water this one). #castor #herbs #herbfarm #cuttingroot

Elder. Pretty soon we’ll be cutting some elder branches to root into soil for our plant sale- swipe to see the last pictures of our cuttings in 2020. Elder bushes support so much life- the elder borer beetle, butterflies, birds, and our deer love to carve our little nests under ours to take naps in! Elder flowers and elder berries are both potent (and delicious) medicines. Head over to our website to purchase elder medicine (dried flowers and berries, tinctures, and elder berry syrup! You can also reserve your live plants for pick up in May. #herbfarm #cuttingroot
