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.
