Jewelweed is flourishing near me right now. It grows along roadsides; usually with a good bit of shade and water nearby. Harvested fresh it can be made into soap, tincture or salve to treat poison ivy and other skin issues.

The plants are about waist high. They are delicate and cannot be dried for future use as with many herbs. Jewelweed is also not to be used internally.
