Pick the bottom leaves in the spring before it blossoms! If you can pick the bottom leaves in the first year growth only for a neon green.
Joanna I think this is your totem plant and you should stop trying to kill it! <grin> I gave up on thistles and milkweed and as a result I'm the only yard in town with honeybees, I also have the best looking thistle and milkweed stands in town. Kimberly http://www.prairiefibers.blogspot.com http://www.kbaxterpackwood.etsy.com From: Joanna Gleason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: green dye/mullein Dear Fiber-netters, I *WISH* some of you would come to my farm and harvest the mullein!!!!! I hack, I hew, I brush-hog, I dig ... you can't get rid of the stuff .. NOTHING eats it ... its not toxic, just thick and hairy and incredibly resistant to drought and non-soils. It sucks up any water and good stuff in the "soil" and prohibits anything else from growing in its vicinity. Can you tell I hate it? joanna - --- No virus found in this outgoing message.
