Summer is in full swing. More weeds!

Sida Rhombifolia the sheep eat it, it’s edible for humans too. In some African countries it is used as a food. The leaves actually have antibiotic properties and can be made into a tincture by soaking in 80 proof vodka, or made into a tea. I got this stuff everywhere. The stems get tough and woody.

I’ve got lots of this too. Sheep won’t eat it. It’s tough, hard to even pull a wad of it to use for scrubbing green out of water buckets.

Antibiotic properties - good, and probably some pain reliever when steeped with that 80 proof vodka! 😁 ;)

Agree! :lol: pain relief

You guys had me feeling badly that YOUR phones had this and my "lesser?" Android didn't. 😖.

THEN....not to be left behind...I searched and found i DID have such available :celebrate just had to download the free app. It does work on insects/animals too. Yep, identified my goats! And by breed.👍

Now I know that crap is milkweed! Not wanted before or since I knew what it was🤣 something else I want to ID, gotta remember phone. Also did a few things I absolutely knew -- to make sure the app was correct. :lol::idunno well, confidence grew. It's a fun app🤣🤣🤣
