Bee Swarm in down town Toronto

[Catherine]

I don't blame you for not picking herbs from the ditches.  Friends are always wanting to catch crickets for my lizards when they are out in the country. They don't understand why I say no.  We both know about pesticide use. It could kill my lizards quickly, but it would accumulate in a person and cause long term serious health problems.

What herb is it?  I am guessing it is not Beefsteak plant.

I buy my guinea pig hay from local farms that produce it for small animals and guarantee it is pesticide free.

I try to buy local produce because we have some laws about pesticide use. I avoid stuff from countries I am not sure of.
