Old Wives' Lore For Gardeners.Whilst foraging in my local charity shop this morning I came across this book for 50p it looks to be quite fun & interesting.
I am already looking forward to sharing bits & pieces on the gardening thread when the appropriate topics come up...

That sounds interesting. Don't forget you can just share some with us anyway, especially if they amuse you!

Ooh I forgot I had put this book on here,
Libby I saw this & thought of you:
"Wild Cats"
"If you are troubled with these, it is said that they wil flee from the smoke of rue & bitter almonds..."

Libby

I love this sort of stuff
my thoughts are:- if wild cats will flee surely my own would as well???

Tuberculosis
Proper medical attention should be obtained for this serious illness.
Live slugs can also be swallowed for additional assistance... 
Children don't try this unless supervised by an adult
