Two weeds you want to have in your yard...

Dandelions and Chickweed. Dandelions have all the minerals, vitamins, and nutrients your body needs. Chickweed is considered a miracle weed; it can stop bleeding kidneys, relieve water tension, help with UTI, and even reduces your appetite for losing weight. I won't let my husband cut grass until I've picked them early that morning. Sometimes he has to wait a day.:) Do you cut your dandelions and chickweed down? If so, you should consider picking and using them.:)

Did not know this. I want to start my own herbs I saw a bunch of starter plants at our local greenery. I would like to learn how to grow garlic because my family goes through so much I rather grow it at home that have to keep buying at the store. If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it. Also where do I go to get the garlic bulbs to start growing it.

I don't think I've got any chickweed. unless that's one of the many other names for Cleavers, I know it has about a billion names. but I regularly harvest my dandelions and nettles for culinary and remedy purposes.
