{SPEAKER name="Maria Agner"}
Do they grow in special areas of your farm? Do you, um?

[00:20:05]
{SPEAKER name="Maria Agner"}
Yeah, the yellow ones, the chanterelles that grow in the countries and in the pecan groves
[00:20:10]
and the wild meadow mushrooms, how the name already explains, grows in the pasture.

[00:20:16]
And the powder poufs, they grow in the pasture too. Especially when cows have been and there is manure.

[00:20:26]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}[Jimmy Lee Harris]
Do you get pleasant surprises some days when you go out and just see they have all appeared?

[00:20:30]
Oh yeah, I sure, I sure do, and I am very eager when I see something yellow or white.
[00:20:37]
To go there and see what it is.

[00:20:41]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
You also, do you dry any mushrooms? You can them?
[00:20:42]

{SPEAKER name="Maria Agner"}
Yeah, I dry them, I freeze them, and I can them.
[00:20:46]
When I freeze them, I found out the best way is to cook them completely and just put them as a meal in the freezer.
[00:20:54]
And drying, I have a dryer, little dryer, and I dry them in there.
But, uh, canning is very simple too and in a canning book it comes with a caner.
[00:21:03]
There is a time explained how long you have to can them. But to them them ready I put them in a short time in a pot and let them simmer in their own juice and I put them in the caner.

[00:21:15]
{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"}
Do you ever use any of the plants that Mrs. Anderson has?
[00:21:19]

{SPEAKER name="Maria Agner"}
Yeah, I use, uh, I use many wild plants for food purposes too.
[00:21:27]
And I read about that here grows some too like that wild stock. It's pointed, and it grows really in the ditch farm.
[00:21:38]
And in Europe we use the nettle, it makes a vegetable like spinach.
[00:21:45]
And dandelion for salad. It is very delicious salad in the spring before the blossom comes, otherwise its not more, its bitter.
[00:21:55]
And healing herbs, we used too. We made tea out of linden blossoms for colds.
[00:22:03]
I used chamomile from Europe or from health stores here for healing purposes
[00:22:11]
and uh, when children for example have diarrhea.
