So, having completed the first part of the plan and taking with us a bottle of birch sap (part 1), we moved on in search of fresh nettle.
Strangely enough, but we still have not met it anywhere on the way from Sumy to Lypnyak, although I carefully examined the forest outskirts on this subject.
Nettle is a common weed, and literally in a month it will be everywhere, but we had no luck that day.
Instead, the willow catkins was waiting for us at every turn of the road.
This small, unnamed lake was still covered with ice
Somewhere in Zeleny Hai
Zeleny Hai it's like a "green grove" in English. And I have to say, this place looks really green in summer time.
Motocross/pitbike trail.
Pits and hills combined with dirt and sand... what could be a more suitable place to train extreme motorcyclists?
We have noticed a couple of bikers here, so it's better to stay away and do not cross the trail.
Oh, here is our nettle. It is a little purple because of the cold, but it already contains a lot of vitamins and nutrients.
So small, but it bites well. Go to mommy, I have some plans for you:-)
Hola, my dear readers! Have you ever tried a green borscht?
