minus-squareEcho Dot@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up20·4 months agoAlso ginger. And technically wormwood too, although that’s more you drinking water that is soaked into wood.

minus-squaredie444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·4 months agoSo is a potato wood? A carrot? Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.
