Thank goodness for bulbinella
Yesterday while there was a break in the constant rain that has been falling since Saturday I got stuck in and weeded my waist high corn.
We had added lots of manure to this bed a few weeks back and the problem with that is that all the weed seeds eaten by the horses tend to germinate.
There was one weed/nettle that had sprung up and when I grabbed it, it was like fire in my fingers. The burning was so painful I went to look for a local antihistamine...but I had none.
Then I remembered my Bulbinella plant which I always grow near my kitchen. It is an indigenous plant to SA and is useful for any wound, burn or sting. You simply break a leaf off and squeeze out the sticky sap and rub it on the sore area. Within a few minutes all burning had subsided.
