I thought it was just so darned pretty, I decided to collect the seeds for the 2011 garden. I wanted a huge patch of the flowers. <br /><br />Not that natural beauty is not a good enough justification for growing the flowers, but this winter I discovered this was not just a pretty flower! WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!<br /><br />I agree that relaxing the line between medicine and food seems pretty reasonable. Over a year ago, the kids convinced me to get farmer's honey instead of white sugar. Amazingly, last summer -- not one allergy pill was needed!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468315911120692082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094253214225998105.post-85121193633464955892011-02-18T12:41:40.266-05:002011-02-18T12:41:40.266-05:00Hi Risa!
