    Groundsill is the most harmful weed in our garden. Dandelions boiled is a cure for stomach trouble. Sun spurge grows in bad soil and is a cure for warts. The herby arrow when it is boiled is a cure for rheumatism. Nettles can be boiled and eaten and the juice of them is good for measles. Ivy leaves steeped in vinegar is a cure for corns.
