REDCHEQHEN Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 The old birds have started eating one of the plants in the garden that they have never bothered with before - a verbascum, (common name mullein) when I have looked it up on the internet to see if it is ok, it says it is an old remedy used for mucus, respiratory etc - are they trying to tell me something ? Some of them are set to be basketted for a 380 mile race tomorrow :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
