    Yes. Prickly Pear cactus is native to the Northeast and Northern Midwest.

    Last week when it rained I went to my favorite mushroom patch and lookie what else I found!

    Please keep in mind that mullein is an invasive.

    Oh man, thanks for the head's up! I looked up my county and it lists "Moth Mullein" not Common Mullein. Can you identify? It also says 0 occurances in my county.

    I already scattered seeds onto some bare ground, but I can deal with it if necessary. My biggest issues that I fight are false chamomile and dandelions. Just found some thistle and cut that down, and I have oxeye daisies and red clover that I'm not controlling.

    AFAIK, *all* mullein is invasive.

    All mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is introduced to NA. Not a noxious weed in most regions per se, but in marginal arid ecosystems, it is a competitor to native plants.

    It’s a prolific seeder and banked seeds can remain viable for a century. So once it goes to seed it is hard to completely eradicate from a site. It doesn’t spread far on its own, so if you find an isolated patch, it was brought there by humans or their animals.

    In Colorado Moth mullein (Verbascum blattaria) is on the b list with no occurrences in Lake County while Common mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is on the c list with no controls. I guess I won't sweat it til I learn something specifically different.

    Raspberry canes are 6-9 feet tall and flowering like mad. Harvest is gonna be a pita. Tomatoes are also 6 feet tall and loaded. Peppers are having a terrible year.

    Have you tried fried sage leaves? Great way to use up some sage. Also - chicken/veal saltimbocca. Soooooo tasty. ?

    Mmmm, saltimbocca. I haven't made that in a long time. I also have purple sage going but it's new, this plant is a monster. I need some more ideas for how to use it.

    I'm telling you - fried sage leaves are delicious and you can use up a SHITLOAD.

    ETA: I'm talking "crisp-fried" not deep-fried. I've never tried deep-fried sage leaves, but I'd wager they're even better than the crisp-fried.

    Waddaya know about wineberries? The thicket at the top of my driveway turned out to be an impenetrable thorny tangle of wineberries and they're going crazy. I tried a few, they're really sweet. They're kinda sticky from all the pectins.

    I'm disappointed that nobody picked up on the generationally appropriate song reference in my herb pic post. Try again...

    Lol. I was thinking to myself wouldn't it be funny if he took a picture of those other herbs from the song instead of Cilantro, Mullen, Marjoram, and some other thing. I need new glasses.
