Rosa Rugosa

We have lots of this rose all around our farm. The acidity in the soil will determine the color of the flowers. Those nearest the gardens rich in sheep, llama and chicken poop are one color, and those out in the field that haven't been fertilized with manure yet are another color. The colors range from pink to white. The rose hips are what is left behind after the flower blooms. The hips are high in Vitamin C and can be used for many different things. Hop on over and learn more from this blogger.

Two months later...

I know, I know. I've been distracted by baby lambs being born, shearing starting up and trying to get more product made for NH Sheep & Wool May 9 & 10th in Deerfield, NH. There are deer back in the back pasture and a porcupine that has grown to maturity. It is time to put out the solar game cameras that I bought last year!! I will be back. In the meantime I am going to share some of the plants we have around the farm and their benefits. I will also be sending you to other blogs to learn more from their expertise.
