    herbs
    The most harmful weeds are
    crows foot, thistles and rag wort
    They are harmful because they grow rapidly. Herbs are found on both good and bad land. Certain herbs have medicinal properties. Their names are
    Dandelion, bog bean and rose noble.
    These are boiled. They are then ready for use and are very good for the blood.
    Tops of the whins, dock seees,bog bean, rose noble, Lussnalee, Liquorice ball
