[Ninurta]

If the poop hits the oscillating device, remember that a lot of plants that are now considered weeds are edible. Now may be the time to pick up a good plant identification guide for your area. You'd be surprised how much free food is growing near you, even in a city.

I have been upgrading my knowledge of the local plant life around us. I was surprised at how much of the weeds were useful .

Don't forget medicinal plants, I'm growing St. John's wort so I can make this oil.

This grows wild here, like a weed, and you can find it in waste places and on roadsides in abundance. It had great big fuzzy, velvety leaves, and a spiky stalk topped with flowers grows from the middle of the rosette of leaves..

There are a lot of medicinal plants that grow wild here, like wild lettuce (pain), black willow (pain - it's where aspirin originally came from), catnip (nerves), peppermint (stomach ailments), and a plethora of others. You're right, it pays to learn the medicine plants.

My granny used to make cough syrup and "lung tonic" using mullein, wild cherry bark, and honey, and mixing it with moonshine.

Common mullein is all that I've ever found here. I've never seen that Greek Mullein.
