Where I live, people eat a lot of turnip, mustard, and collard greens. I handle these, as well as kohlrabi, rutabaga, beet, and chard greens, the same way. (Kale would no doubt be the same but I don't care for it.) They are fine when defrosted and reheated. The trick: fully cook them before...

Sure looks like the sunflowers that kept sprouting under my bird feeder, and yes, the feed had sunflower seeds in it. I just let them go where I didn't mow, and even got a few sunflowers out of it. But I am no botanist. I don't even have a green thumb; mine seems to be black....

I use ammonia on all stings, even mosquito bites, scratch it in, don't even rinse. Even works on Portugese Man-o-War. Dissolves the protein of the toxin, or so I have read. Try finding the little buggers into your worm bed.... or your house.... I can keep their numbers down but have never...
