Trust me., eating tobacco isn’t good for the whole not throwing up thing. I still remember swallowing a wad of chewing tobacco in 8th grade. I threw up for hours. Lol. Funny how that memory is still so clear.

Yes, but I've still considered growing it.
Not to smoke or chew, but I've heard that a tea made from the dried leaves will kill lice, fleas, leeches, and mites.
I don't know if this is true, but Black Leaf 40 insecticide is 40% nicotine, so I believe that the idea of using tobacco tea for lice seems credible.

I do remember reading that nicotine was in insecticides. Hmmm, if it can kill bugs then why in the hell would anyone inhale it? For being the most intelligent animal on the planet, we aren’t so smart after all.

I agree with you.....people are often stupid.
As for my former boss, for example? It takes her an hour to make Minute Rice.

I know certain plants don't do well near certain oak trees even with sun. Generally speaking oak trees don't like rich soil, if the tree is vibrant and full, more then likely the soil is shit :-/
The soil is about an inch of "topsoil" if you can call it that. It has a lot of sand and gravel in it, and here are too many rocks to dig with a shovel without breaking it up first with a pickaxe. And then below that is a clay hardpan. Some places the clay hardpan is less than an inch deep, some places several inches deep. But the volunteer collards were growing around the edges of an old compost heap. I used the soil from the old compost heap and mixed it with some broken up clay to make the collard garden.
And I also took some soil from the compost heap and made mounds in one of the flower beds and transplanted some of the collards there. Many previous attempts to grow vegetables in the flower beds were all dismal failures.

Searched Google, but didn't find anything exactly like it.
Does anyone know what this plant is? It looks like some kind of edible green. They volunteered in my old compost heap, or what's left of it, so it could have come from the kitchen.
