Here’s a photo of my yarrow plant. I rudely kidnapped it from its family earlier this year, not having any experience of transplanting things from the wild. I’m happy to say it’s done fine, and even decided to put up two flower shoots.
My interest in yarrow stems (groan 
) from its use as a brewing herb in ancient times, before the ubiquitous adoption of hops in beer. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get a real sense of bitterness from the leaves, I’m not sure why. At any rate, it makes a lovely soothing infusion (supposedly with good immune system boosting properties) and it would make a nice addition to any salad.
Come around and have a nibble, let me know what you think!
