Default And in the New Year Garden......

Rusty Hinge3/1/04 12:09

The message
from green earth contains these words:

In my garden the Feverfew (Chrysanthemum Parthenium) is in flower


Difficult to keep feverfew to any timetable IME. My mother started some
because she sometimes suffered from migraines.

Promble is, feverfew is supposed to be taken as a tisane to *PREVENT* a
migraine, and she never quite got round to it until it was too late. As
a rearguard treatment it isn't very effective.


I think the leaves can also be eaten in sandwiches but it's supposed to be
rather bitter, AFAIK.
