Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Kim, I believe they are a "wild aster", not the cultivated ones that you see in seed catalogues, but could be something else. What you think is horseradish or a dock I believe is rhubarb, has those big docklike leaves. Bonnie RogersKimberly Smith herbal remedies Tuesday, June 08, 2004 3:28 PM Herbal Remedies - Cadace's mystery plants Asters??? Are you sure? I didn't think it had such large leaves and have larger, daisy like flowers in shades of purple/pink/blue. I was thinking more like spinach or something. I know it can be a perennial in some areas. The pictures are hard for me to really see for some reason, but what I see rings bells for some reason, I just can't place it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Well, in the pic the rhubarb is next to the horseradish..but that plant is identical to my horseradish.. Does anyone know when to dig horseradish? Btw Candace..I was warned when I was given the root that it spreads a lot, so the lady probably didn't plant that much, it just multiplied,lol..

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Spinach? Really? LOL @ myself I planted spinach in my garden and it's about 4" tall so far. I have no idea what it looks like full grown or even when to pick it. If it's spinach, that'll make me happy! Lots for my potassium broth! - Kimberly Smith herbal remedies Tuesday, June 08, 2004 2:28 PM Herbal Remedies - Cadace's mystery plants Asters??? Are you sure?

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 OMG LOL I made my TT but when I grabbed the horseradish i'd just bought I noticed a tiny bit of mold on it. Eeeew so I threw it out and made the TT with no horseradish; figured I'd add it later. I searched all the towns within 20 minutes of here and none of the dinky grocery stores had it. So I was going to make the 40 minute trip to the grocery store when I have oodles of it in my own yard! Woo hoooo! Any idea when it can be picked? So I have to dig up the whole plant to get the root, right?

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 I see, I was wondering what on earth she'd do with that much horseradish!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 You know, I've been watching these posts on the "mystery plants" - there are so many guesses as to what they could be!! I'm dying to know now! If it's horseradish, that should be pretty easy to test - just dig one up, break the root and smell, right? Care to experiment Candace?

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yes, you dig part of that big mess of plants, not all of the plant, kind of stick your spade down the middle of the leaf mass on one plant and jab.. leave some for next year.. Just take what you need.. I grind it with beet juice and stuff.. sometimes stick hard boiled eggs in the jar.:-) Oh you're so luck to have rhubarb:-( All the cows ate mine:-(( I waited for them to drop dead thinking man, those leaves are really poisonous, but nothin...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 So I would have to dig up the whole plant....I think I can do that.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 I'm lucky to have rheubarb! BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT! WHEN TO PICK IT? WHAT PART TO EAT? I looooove rheubarb pie and rheubarb bars, etc but I don't know how to make them or what to use or when it's ready. DH said it was ready a couple months ago, that's pretty early.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Listen though about rhubarb...DO NOT EAT THE LEAVES.. keep Brock away from the leaves if he's prone to picking and eating.. You reach down to the base of each stalk (they're like celery stalks) and twist and pull and they come right off.. I brake off the leaf end and throw them into the compost on my way to the kitchen. I didn't see any bloom on your rhubarb and it's pretty big so I'd say it's ready now as long as that was a current pic,lol..rhubarb is a spring plant..right around strawberry time..(I guess in MN it might be an early summer plant though)..
