  1. Herbs

    Herbs grow on the land and some are harmful to it and some are good. Nettles are a cure for the measles. There are other herbs for cures which I do not know about.
    There are some herbs which spread very quickly such as the thistles and the rushes. It leaves the ground very poor for crops afterwards. If there is clover seen growing on the land it is good. There is some medicine got from herbs also such as the Dandelion and Garlic.
