Soapwort growing in

I'm looking forward to summer when we can start drying the leaves and stems. We can't take the root to dry until autumn. This will be the first year (it's only our second summer at this house) we will utilize the soapwort.  Kay has been reading and getting recipes. My job is the drying so I'm learning about that. As you can see, we certainly have enough to play around and experiment with.
