    There are a number of herbs or weeds growing around where I live. Thistles, Docks, Nettles, Spearmint, Sunk, Blind sally, Preshaugh and Water cress etc. Thistles, Docks, Nettles, and Preshaugh are the most harmful because they spread rapidly and impoverish the soil. Thistles only grow in good land. They will not live in poor land. Water-cress is found in streams and marshy places. it has good medicinal qualities.
