Thanks Sage...420mg is 3 per day...<Sigh>
There is just no escaping medicine.  I guess these little capsules are
better than injections.
So you grow them and use them yourself?  If one pops up in the back
pasture, I'll try to remember to save the seed and give them a dedicated
place in the garden.  My newest raised bed, Bed 6, is going to be
dedicated to herbs, especially medicinal herbs.
How many 'doses' do you think are in an average seed head?

How are you feeling these days-holding up okay under the shots? Can
*you* do a push up? <eg> Sorry, couldn't resist.  I know your arms are
probably killing you and I truly hope you are okay.  Hopefully your arms
are better having a little break since last week.  You get the next
round on Tuesday, right?  Have I miscounted?

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve
the problems of the human race"

~ Calvin Coolidge
