One of my goals is to have a herb garden. We dug 2 mullein plants off the side of the road and they are blooming and making seed!

I'm going to have to pay more attention to what's growing on the side of the road around here. I do know where there's a good stand of cat tails. Wonder if the neighbor would be upset if I dug some up and planted 'em in his pond?

I had no idea what Mullen is, but it sounds like something I should be looking to add. Here's a link for others not familiar with it. Good score @baymule!

We have Mullein growing all over the place here- it's one of our commoner weeds. I have heard conflicting stories about using its leaves as "toilet paper"... some say it works great and has a long history, others say the little tiny hairs make you itch.
