Ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea, Gundermann) in our montain meadow near a shady damp place near directly at the end of my fance I built 7 years ago.
Due to its essential oils and bitter compounds, ground ivy was formerly used as a spice plant, and its young leaves were cooked as a vegetable. The plant was already used by the Germanic peoples as a medicinal and magical plant.
