      Hi everyone! Thanks for all the advice. I've noticed there is a lot of 
discussion about the smokable herbs. I was given a few recipes for smokable 
herbs from my grandmother, who grew up in the Ozarks in Missouri. They were 
to be mostly for medicinal uses such as chickweed and chicory for dieting, 
blackberry and catnip blend for colds, and my favorite that is for help 
quitting smoking, Dandylover. The ingrediedients of wich are kinda a family 
secret but are pretty much just 2 plants that grow in most peoples yards. A 
favorable side effect of the Dandylover is that it is also an aphrodiesiac 
too. But I have recieved valuable advice about the inclusion of these on our 
farm, and have decided not to grow them. We will just stick to my grandma's 
recipes for teas and spice blends instead.

Thanks,
