Can anyone tell me what this plant is? I'm trying to determine if it's of value, or if it's just some kind of big giant thing taking over my tree

Does not look like an herb I recognize. But maybe someone else knows.

Can I do anything cool with it? Oh man, I was just down at the garden and some of my kale is lookin' rough! The leaves are full of holes! I need to find something I can use to deter bug damage.

Quote: The roots do have some medicinal properties, perhaps you could research it and find out. I like to dig up the roots, peel off the outer layer from the inner core and make tea out of the outer layer. The flavor has a bitter taste, but the medicinal value makes it worth it.

Over 100 large and extra large egg cartons are sitting on my front porch free to anyone who wants to come and get them. Next Friday they will go in the recycle bin. Also free is a 4x6 chicken coop that needs the door repaired. I also have an A-frame coop for $50

Quote: It scream when you slice into it with a weed eater.

Mowed down a couple of those today with some more weed whipping around the farm here. Got stopped by a jammed up line a little right before the rain hit and opted it was a good time to stop whipping and get shome horses in. got one of them in and then the rain hit and boy was that all cool, refreshing and invigorating.

I'm home from the hospital. Went in on Monday and came home Sunday night. Tired and a bit sore in some spots but I'm in pretty good shape. Just happy to be able to get some real sleep tonight in my own bed. Night.
