Shie warned us about eating too much of a good thing all at once. The tanic acid would keep one running. Common mullin tea is a good remedy for a stomach ache. Cat tail roots are eatable as well as the green cone can be eaten as corn on the cob. Some plants such as deadly ni ghtshade, white and red bainberry are poisonous. Sher mentioned that berrnes that birds eat are okay for human consumption. We ail thoroughly enjoyed the informative talk and now we won't have to feel so bad about some eatable extras on the garden.
