  • Weeds? / Ervas "daninhas"?

    Beautiful, useful and extremely resistant. A nature’s force. They sprout on the sidewalks, grow in patios and abandoned places, they make our high-ways a bit greener and give headaches to farmers who don’t want to see anything else apart from their crops on the fields. Wild herbs are the true survivors of an ancient war dating from 11500 years ago, at the start of what we call agriculture.
