Show 232: Hawthorn, Trailing Arbutus and Twisted Stalk

In this episode I discuss two wild edible plants and a medicinal plant.  The first, Trailing Arbutus, is somewhat rare, but you might consider growing it. The second, Twisted Stalk is very abundant where I live. And the medicinal, Hawthorn is super abundant and one of the most important of all medicinal herbs.

Tune of the week: Hesitation Blues
I play my version of "Hesitation Blues" and give a bit of a lesson on the history of the tune and how to play it. If you would like more instructional content in my videos, like I did on this one, please let me know. Or, if you'd rather just hear me pick, sing and tell stories, let me know that. Either way, ENJOY!  https://youtu.be/mufY_YwP0CE
