Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hey, does anyone know when it is time to harvest horsetail? I live near an area that abounds with horsetail. It is off the beaten path, no cars, just a clean area. LOL...I've wanted to do this for several years now, and time has gotten away from me, and as a result, I miss the harvest season. Someone once told me they should be young, before the leaves start pointing up, or down. Don't remember that part. It's been a couple weeks since I saw them. Anyone have a clue? Thanks.
