Horta, hortoilu<\/strong><\/span> Villivihannekset, villiyrtit<\/strong><\/span> Jokamiehenoikeus<\/strong><\/span> Otetaan ekana k\u00e4sittelyyn maitohorsma<\/a> sill\u00e4 sen sesonki on ihan p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4ns\u00e4 ja osin kohta jo ohikin. Vanhemman maitohorsman tunnistaa helposti joka suuntiin harittavista kapeista, ter\u00e4v\u00e4k\u00e4rkisist\u00e4 tummanvihreist\u00e4\u00a0lehdist\u00e4. Nuoret horsmat ovat ehk\u00e4 hiukan punertartaviakin p\u00f6tkyl\u00f6it\u00e4 joissa lehdet ovat viel\u00e4 supussa. Osa horsmista on jo ainakin t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 etel\u00e4isemm\u00e4ss\u00e4 Suomessa ven\u00e4ht\u00e4nyt pitkiksi, mutta varjoisemmilta paikoilta l\u00f6ytyy viel\u00e4 nuoriakin versoja. Asiantuntijoiden mielest\u00e4 maitohorsma on parhaimmillaan t\u00e4llaisina juuri maasta puskeneena versona. Ne voi valmistaa parsan tapaan keitt\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4, h\u00f6yrytt\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4 tai paistamalla, tai s\u00e4il\u00f6\u00e4 etikkaliemeen. Itse olen toistaiseksi valmistanut niit\u00e4 ainoastaan pannulla paistamalla. Versojen k\u00e4rjist\u00e4 tulee rapsakoita ja mausta hiukan p\u00e4hkin\u00e4inen. Henkil\u00f6kohtaisesti pid\u00e4n enemm\u00e4n oikeasta parsasta, mutta eiv\u00e4t nuokaan pahoja ole.<\/p>\n My\u00f6hemmin kes\u00e4ll\u00e4 voi viel\u00e4 ker\u00e4t\u00e4 horsman lehti\u00e4 jotka k\u00e4yv\u00e4t kuivattuna teeksi. Kukkia voi my\u00f6s kuivata teehen tai tehd\u00e4 niist\u00e4 hempe\u00e4n vaaleanpunaista horsmamehua. Saapa n\u00e4hd\u00e4 tuleeko blogiin sitten horsmamehusta postausta kunhan p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4n kukinta-aikaan.<\/p>\n First I have to apologize the blog turning into quite garden and plant orientated. That will eventually settle down a bit. Try and bear with me.<\/p>\n I mentioned earlier, that this Summer I want to learn to collect wild herbs. Spring and early Summer are the best season for collecting wild vegetables, because most of them are best when young sprouts. Most wild herbs and vegetables turn bitter, woody and chewy when they get older. I am mostly interested in stinging nettle, lady’s mantle, willow herb (fireweed)<\/strong><\/span>, meadowsweet and spruce. In Finland we have this thing called “everyman’s right”, which means that everyone is\u00a0allowed to pick wild berries, herbs and mushrooms. However, spruce or any other things from trees are not included on the everyman’s right. So I can collect everything else except spruce from where ever I can find. My family owns some forest but it is 100 kilometers away, so I would have to travel there to get the spruce.<\/p>\n Horta<\/strong><\/span> Wild vegetables and herbs<\/strong><\/span> Everyman’s right<\/strong><\/span> Let’s start with willow herb<\/a>, because at the moment the season for that is at it’s best. It is something that is easy to recognize. Long and narrow\u00a0dark green leafs are pointing to all directions. Young willow herbs are sometimes slightly pinkish and leafs are pointing upwards in a bundle. In southern Finland, some of the willow herbs are already quite large, but in shady areas you can still find young sprouts. Experienced wild herb specialists say that these are at their best when they are very young sprouts. You can cook them by steaming, boiling or frying, just like asparagus. Or put them in vinegarry marinade stock. I have so far only cooked them by frying on the pan. Tips of the sprouts go a bit crunchy and flavour is slightly nutty. Personally I prefer real asparagus, but these aren’t that bad either.<\/p>\n Later during the summer you can collect just leafs and dry them for tea infusion. Flowers are also lovely for tea or for making pink willow herb juice. We will see, there might be post about the fireweed juice later when they are blooming.<\/p>\n 10-20 sentin pituisia horsman versoja huuhdottuna. \/<\/strong><\/span>
\nVillivihanneksista ja niiden ker\u00e4ilyst\u00e4 k\u00e4ytetty termi, joka tulee kreikan kielest\u00e4 ja tarkoittaa villi\u00e4 sy\u00f6t\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4 kasvia.<\/p>\n
\nLuonnossa villin\u00e4 kasvavat sy\u00f6t\u00e4v\u00e4t kasvit, kuten nokkonen, poimulehti, voikukka, maitohorsma jne.<\/p>\n
\nJokamiehenoikeus koskee kaikkia villin\u00e4 kasvavia sieni\u00e4, marjoja ja kasveja, mutta ei puita. Puista saa ker\u00e4t\u00e4 lehti\u00e4, kukkia, oksia, k\u00e4pyj\u00e4, mahlaa, kasvannaisia tai kaarnaa VAIN JA AINOASTAAN maanomistajan luvalla. Vaikka kaikkea saa ker\u00e4t\u00e4, niin ihmisten pihoihin, puutarhoihin ja kylvetyille pelloille ei kumminkaan saa menn\u00e4 ker\u00e4ilem\u00e4\u00e4n.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif?resize=214%2C100\")

\nWild herbs and vegetables, word comes from Greek and means wild edible plants.<\/p>\n
\nAll wild plants that can be eaten like stinging nettle, dandelion, willow herb etc.<\/p>\n
\nIn Finland we have a law that allows us to collect wild mushrooms, berries and herbs from where ever we can find them, even from private land, excluding people’s yards, gardens and fields with crops. Check your local legislation and rules for collecting wild herbs and berries in advance.<\/strong><\/span> Tree leafs, sap, bark, branches and cones straight from the tree are, however, excluded. Allthough, with\u00a0the landowner’s permission, you can do that too, but you have to ask the permission in advance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/wildherbs2.jpg?resize=600%2C472\")
