It sounds like an itchy uncomfortable period in many ways. :/ I hope that I'm wrong, and/or that things are looking up.

I've never herd of eating Tradescantia before-- what did it taste like? Is it supposed to be therapeutic? And the flowers are so few that I'm kind of surprised, thinking of eating them....

Tangent: The name of Tyrant farms makes me think of the family of tyrant flycatchers. I always find the idea of a tyrannical flycatcher funny, though I've never lived where there were any to speak of. (There may have been the occasional stray in Southern Illinois, and that's s far south as I've lived.)
