Why are some plants labeled evil and other a gift from heaven? I have
found that if poison ivy is about so is jewel weed. Seems the cure is
readily available in the environment but we must have knowledge of it.
Our knowledge of nature seems to have been diminished a lot in the last
50 years. My grand mom took care of us with herbs until just about when
I was born 1948. I sort of believe the fractured nature of our system to
educate is responsible as small divisions are encouraged and wholeness
is not mentioned . I think of a Goethe.

Anyway the rant also has a bright spot look at my signature url.

Bill who just got his heater working after screwing it up ( Hurt Switch)
when cleaning filter. Dumb....

Can one good apple unspoil the whole barrel?

Astute observation about the cure being in proximity with the
"curse".....good food for thought and study. I don't care for the term
weed adn it connotations. Is dandelion a weed? Many think so.

Charlie, under the log again, seeking wholeness, grappling with
internal divisions......

I live 8 miles from the "Dandelion capitol of the world". Vineland,
New Jersey we eat them with gusto. Italian immigrates turned us on to
dandelion. Eat before flower or real bitter. Just like broccoli or
broccoli rabe .

Seems others do too.

Flowers are good also. Dip in tempura batter and fry, reminiscent of
mushrooms. Good in salads also.

We eat lots of dandylions.....makes us pee, eh?
