[Sca-cooks] Fenugreek

[Wanda Pease]

Fascinating!  Sounds like I can gather the too many baby plants and use them.

I wish I'd known about the lactation bit since my Daughter-in-law is still nursing the twins.  I suspect that will stop soon since the little Darlin's are developing shark like teeth.
