What is a weed,
but a plant whose virtue
has not yet been discovered

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.”

ReplyDeletethis summer I was asked to be in a garden walk and the first thing I asked was have you seen my garden. it is very natural and I encourage plants that other people call weeds. And the second thing I said was what you see is what you get. but on the day of the walk people seemed to really like our small natural area and I also hung out yarn and shawls that I had knitted out of yarns dyed with jewel weed and queen annes lace and golden rod and others. so a weed is only a weed in the eye of the beholder
So cute!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I read that same quote just a few days ago in a permaculture gardening book... So very true.

And perfect cover for some pretend tiger prowling...!
ReplyDeleteI have been eating weeds all year and I haven't as much as had to take a Panadol even once. I did a wild foods course and learned all about what's good for what ails us. The biggest change in myself that now, when I am tired or sore or have PMS, I google which weeds to eat or make tea from instead of going to the chemist to buy something manufactured in a petroleum-fueled science lab, totally dislocated from nature.
