Harvesting Ashwagandha
The Weather is Getting Cold
We're in the final days that these plants can continue growing. One of the plants had some severe frost damage... but is mostly harvestable.
Saving Root, Leaves and Berries
I carefully removed all the healthy leaves and berries. Then I cut off the root of the two plants I harvested. I left three in the ground to mature a little more.
The roots are the most valuable part of the plant. I can be made into a tea that is very healthy.
The leaves also are very healthy to eat, I'm going to dry them also for tea.
The seed husk dries out revealing the red berry inside. Each berry contains about 15 tiny seeds. A single tiny seed can produce one big ashwaghanda plant!
Six Months Ago
I was growing my very first plants in little cups. At the time I didn't know the leaves were also valuable. Almost every part of the plant has a use for good health.
Life is Precious: Don't Worry About a Virus
I know, we're constantly bombarded with reminders of "covid don't you know" and it can be a real bummer, especially for those who simply want to enjoy a normal, prosperous life.
So I'll be quick.
Our family has partnered with Dr. Zelenko to promote his product Z-STACK. Why? Because we don't want YOU to go to a hospital. Why? Because the hospital system has financial and political incentives to make you a statistic. Don't become a statistic. Your life is precious. Stay out of the hospitals. Consider Z-STACK to help combat illnesses.
What is Z-STACK?
I am not a doctor offering medical advice, but repeating the recommendations of Dr. Zelenko. Please do your own research for medical decisions. If you have any questions, consult with American Frontline Doctors.
Z-STACK contains four ingredients that work together to stop the virus from spreading inside your body and help you recover quickly. Quercetin and zinc, backed up with immune boosting vitamin D and vitamin C.

- Vitamin C 800mg 1 time a day for 7 days
- Vitamin D3 5000iu 1 time a day for 7 days

Do Not Live In Fear, Except in the Fear of the LORD
Fear no one, but the one above.
Bless the Most High!
I had to look up what Ashwagandha is, because I have not heard about it so far. We (in Hungary) can buy this herb in the form of capsules. They write that it is exceptionally healthy, and it is good to prevent anxiety and depression, help to fight with the effects of stress, and also helps fighting tiredness.
@xplosive Yes, the health advantages of this plant are excellent. I meant to link my previous article about the health benefits of Ashwagandha.

I find the leaves very bitter, but I nibble on them in the garden. I am going to harvest mine this year for the first time - exciting! @riverflows
