Since I'm home during daylight today, I was going to wander outside and look for chickweed. How much do you need, and does it have to be fresh? Or can I pick and dry it for you? (That'd give more time to figure out how to get it to you.)
needs to be fresh. dry chickweed has little to no medicinal value :(
On another note... John had a great idea...the parks. I ran by Roanoke Park briefly at lunch. Appears there's some around a couple of trees. Going to go really look after work. I figure if chickweed is growing, they probably haven't sprayed.
Parks? Ummm...not necessarily. Depends on what they were spraying for, and how specific it was. If chickweed's growing, then they've **probably** not sprayed for broadleaf weeds recently, but they could have sprayed for crabgrass and other weedy monocots.
It's probably best to assume that anything maintained by the city/county gets sprayed on a semiregular basis, because that's the cheapest (shrot-term, anyway) form of maintenance and pest control.
