- In old times herbs were used greatly for curing pains, and for dying things different colours.
If you get the juice of a Dandelion, and get a piece of white cloth, put a speck of the white juice on it in the sun and it will turn black and never was out.
If you get a sting of a nettle, and put a dock leaf over it immediately you get it, it will take the pain away.
If you cut your finger, and the juice that comes out of the pine it will stop it bleeding. - There are a lot of herbs growing about my farm:- Nettles, Briars, Dendelion, Ivy, Sorrel, and lots of with Herbs growing through the grass.
These grow in pretty good land mostly. People often eat some of these:- Nettles can be boiled and sorrel and Dandelion, leaves can be eaten also.- Collector
