- Herbs
The most harmful weeds growing on the land are Thistles, Crowfoot, Docks and Coltsfoot. The Thistles and the Docks grow on good land. There are no herbs (ground) growing in the ground but are used as cures for various diseases. The dandelion cures a cough. The seed of the Dock will also cure a cough. The nettles are used for feeding turkeys and hens. The Foxglove is poison. It is called Throatwort because when it is made into broth and used as medicine it is believed to cure a sore throat.- Collector
