- Moss, ferns, wildroses, nettles, thistles, briars, honey suckles, dock and whins are harm-ful to the grazing fields and crops growing on our farm. Ragweeds and chicken weeds are also harmful on our farm. Some of them spread rapidly and they are harmful.Ragweeds, wildroses and briers only grow on good land. Moss and ferns only grow on poor land.Foxglove, broom, whore hound and poppy heads are used for medicine. Foxglove is used for making medicine for the heart. Broom is used as medicine for putting away any skin disease. Poppy heads are used for making sick people sleep.Moss is used for dying and in the war time moss was used for bandaging.Nearly all the medicines were got from plants long ago.
