        To fulfill the assignment for Forum to start the course, I am looking forward to developing an appreciation of Burdock and Nettles (as well as a multitude of others).  While I knew it had value, nettles has been something I grumble about when accidentally grabbing it around the irrigation pump or squeeze chute.  I mainly knew about the burrs burdock produces.  I generally find them in the livestock guardian dogs hair, horse manes and my socks.  I was convinced their main method of propagation was to catch a ride on the calves that wander past, in search of new areas to start burdock colonies.

        My wife had many medicinal and culinary herbs that I have managed to lose through neglect (with the exception of the Comfrey and Wormwood which even survived me).  I am looking forward to re-establishing some of them, and discovering the vast array of native plants and trees that grow on this place.

          Welcome aboard Andy. You’ll find that most of the weeds, trees, and flowers on your place are good medicine. Have fun. :0)

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
