(Early Winter Cress or Early Yellow Rocket (Barbarea verna) - 05) This early winter cress was growing by itself just off the shoulder of the road.  At this stage of growth, before the flowers open, the leaves of the early winter cress can be eaten in salads and as cooked greens, but be very careful that they are not common wintercress, which has been reported to cause kidney problems.  In certain places, particularly in Europe, winter cress varieties have been cultivated for this purpose.

lamb-right lamb-left Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.  Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion.  It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
