Excellent piece. Considering the care which is exhibited towards the herbs i was surprised there was no mention of the spiritual aspects.
Maybe thats not for food entry but more for medicine!
I practice biodynamics and a basic principle we use when gathering plants is to recognize the spiritual forces and gather accordingly.
Each plant has its planet etc.... ( much details)..... but a good overall guide is always the moon. Consider when harvesting if you seek the most vital tops of a flowering plant, that the full moon is a good time as the spirit forces are very active in the upper parts at that time.

Glad you liked it! Interestingly, this *isn't* a food entry. I use herbs medicinally, so to me it's a page in my first aid handbook.
I haven't added in anything about spirituality because I wanted to reach the widest audience I could. If that means being mistaken for a food entry, then I'm happy for that to happen.
But thanks for posting underneath - it means that anyoe interested will be able to see what it.
