Joyce Coomer: The uses of weeds No Rachel Carson didn't write these words, but Rachel Carson (and Thomas Wolfe, and Janice Holt Giles) certainly comes to mind. They are the equally eloquent, descriptive words of Adair County's own 'Rachel Carson,' EW When I was a child, iron weed, black-eyed Susans, Queen Anne's lace, goldenrod and other "weeds" could be seen scattered across pastures. True, the cattle didn't eat these plants, but butterflies, moths, lightning bugs and honey bees (something I have not seen around our place for several years) benefitted from these blooms.' - - JOYCE COOMER. Click on headline for complete essay By Joyce Coomer Personal Commentary Weeds, as Guy Babin terms plants he dislikes, are a vital part of the ecology of a place. The pollen and nectar in their flowers -- some of which are gorgeous, some just so-so, and some barely noticeable -- feed and nourish a myriad of insects, some useful, some not (or at least not apparently -- like mosquitoes), some entertaining -- such as lightning bugs. I have several books on edible wild plants. It is amazing how many of the "weeds" people frantically try to eradicate (most usually to the detriment of the environment through the use of poisons) are highly nutritious and some are tasty as well. Some are even useful as treatments for diseases -- burdock for example as a liver cleanser, butterfly weed root as a treatment for lung problems.
