- There are a lot of herbs growing on my fathers farm.
Here are some of their names. Copper, Blittens, Farabun.
They are harmful because they impoverish the soil, and do great harm to the crops. Where land is bad there are all kinds of herbs growing but where it is good very few herbs grow.
There are certain herbs that have medicinal cures. It is not knows why the herbs roots are so small.
The herbs are not used for dyeing purposes but long ago the old people used to make cures from them.
