[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT scotch broom

[Henry Osborne]

Good Morning Beckie and All, is this Scotch Broom a kin to the Ragweed 
plant?
As a side note here, my Uncle was the famous Author Sir James M. Barrie, I 
guess that is where I get my liking of writing.
I like Science Fiction, and am playing around with the idea of a Xcience 
fiction story of plants that take over the world.
Have a great day all, and a safe holiday weekend too.
henry and sophie

I grew up with dandy lions!
Have not seen much of them, lately.

We have this invasive weed called Scotch broom. I gather it started as a 
decorative plant in someone's garden. Well those yellow flowers throw off 
hundreds of little whatever's that make this weed grow like mad. You have to 
catch it early to get it out of your yard or otherwise it will take over.
Allergies all over the place to the ample pollen it produces. The roots grow 
so deep and go all sorts of way the only thing you can do is burn it out. My 
girlfriend invited the fire department to burn the scotch broom from the 
field in her back yard. Well the roots started to burn right to her home.
They had a hard time putting out the underground fire. But no this stuff 
doesn't destroy buildings. It does though make allergies go crazy.
