What do we mean when we say that a weed is bad? I am clear: we have not yet found the right use. This is what happens to the barabbas weed, the Oxalis latifolia. It's not pretty, it's not eating, it's not medicine, it's not ritual ... Not “worth.” Among other plants, it only hinders ...
Culture is a simple subject. I've just walked through Asia, and here's what I've found with weed. In a cemetery, a nice cupboard embellished in honor of relatives who had left. In the photo next door it looks great. Our weed, the most elegant of all, in a place of honor. It is being used in more and more places. They've found their use!
There are many genera and varieties in this herb: red leaves, red leaves, white flower, yellow flower... Enough to satisfy many aesthetic tastes and dislikes.
In our case we also have grass, especially in the houses of the lands that pour the waters into the Atlantic. The terrible grass has been treated as if it were a little bird, and the carabas has taken on the role played by the cabbages and the beans for centuries. And the same thing that all that is bad and abundant has been given a multitude of names, has been a cause of humiliation, is used to explain how the other is: Txomin-Belarra, Uli-belarra, Lekeit-belarra, Bering-belarra, Barrabas-belarra... This last name is undoubtedly the most beautiful, the barabbas, which is dedicated to picoting and fighting. The Barrabas-Belarra, a field of cultivation or a clean garden, with no trace of grass, is continually exposing what he wants to teach, trampling!
There are also other names in this herb: bitter, sour, triangular, sour, mingospelar, bitter... He who has bitten him knows that he has a very pronounced vinegar point; we, as a child, have tried a machine sheltered from corn, we said it was a little bit. Hence that bunch of names. What if we were content to be bitter like this herb? If we turn it into fertilizer as a bitter herb? If at the table this bitter metal is good, good grass will be the popa! Start renewing your salad!
