  1. Herbs

    Share Share Post
    The most harmful herb on my land is dandelion because it spreads. The people eat three meals of nettles before the first of May and they get very healthy.
    People eat dandelion and watercress. Thistles grow on good land. Dockleaves and rushes grow on bad land.
    The people boil nettles and give them to the pigs. Certain herbs have certain cures for sickness, such as dandelion.
