I'm like you -- I see the weeds when everyone else is admiring the flowers, and sometimes you're just too stiff or sore to get out and weed. I'm not a kneeler or sitting-type weeder, though, I'm a bendover type, and I get dizzy and pull my hamstrings. Ouch. ----- So often those weeds are such good medicinals...in abundance so you can make tea every day! Right now I am pulling lots of dandelions and ground ivy...and eating daylilies... :-) michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I just LOVE the way you guys so generously share your expertise. I make my own stuff, but I hang out on the internet and love sending people to your site for instructions. Hopefully you get a few sales that way.
