His emotional and judgemental descriptions are a pretty neat memorizing technique. I now totally remember that garlic is The Enemy and sheep sorrel is filthy communist, I wish various "useful" stuff was written this way.

E: sweet and sour soils are an old-fashioned method of talking about PH levels.

sour=acidic, sweet=alkaline :ms:

Apparently old farmers actually did taste the soil as well.

I did remember reading about pigweed as one of the first sections from this book but I have not read anything on the Bouncing Bet so let's do that one first.

I wonder if he just like wrote up all the weeds he knew and ended at 102 or if he specifically aimed for 100 but then could not resist two more weeds?

B, b, b - b is for your belligerent, bitchy, bottomless state of affairs, but why?

C is for the cantankerous condition of our character, you have no cut-out.

The reference to a Lady Slipper as another name for this sent me off to read about MN state flower. I knew it was a 'lady slipper' but it turns out to be a "Showy" LS, a relative of the mentioned one. A little digging brought me here:





Man, the Lady Slipper has been a protected flower in Minnesota for almost 100 years. It's pretty rare, I've only ever seen it twice. I bet no one alive has hallucinated from Showy Lady Slippers.

"It surely belongs to his satanic majesty and it is a little tomato."

I guess I'd like to hear about something that either saves lives or destroys them, so I request Heal-all or Black Nightshade.

So heal-all won't heal you and (this type of) deadly nightshade won't kill you? :colbert:

Well, I'm still going to eat both and let them fight it out.

it sounds like it would have been pretty easy to be a jerk and just throw a bunch of weed seeds everywhere and tick off all the farmers

It probably would have been. Find one of these weeds on your property, harvest the seeds, sneak in to your neighbor's property at night, scatter them about.

Also:

:siren: I found a way to scan things better! :siren:

Now it's like you're REALLY reading the book! Let me know what you think about it.

I know I've got some Common Plantain that grows in my backyard. I wonder what this book says about it.

I'm also wondering if Creeping Jenny is anything like Creeping Charlie.
