[QUOTE="Deona, post: 494830, member: 7764"] Hi, I've been researching this a little trying to identify what was growing so tall in a field behind my house. I found out that pigweed can be found "throughout North America, from Canada to Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. It is also found throughout much of the rest of the world, including Europe, South America, Eurasia, and Africa. It is a native of tropical America." Wow, what a pesky weed! Here in Austin we had a very unusual long period of rain during the summer after a little bit of a drought and the pigweed behind my house grew up to 14' tall! Now it's brown and all dried out so the kids and I decided to use some to make a teepee using the stripped stalks and a few big sheets. If anyone's interested in trying it out, here's a couple links to get you going. -Deona :pretty: [url=http://www.manataka.org/page186.html]http://www.manataka.org/page186.html[/url] [url=http://www.manataka.org/page191.html#TEEPEE_MAKING_-_VERSION_2]http://www.manataka.org/page191.html#TE ... _VERSION_2[/url] (sm version) [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=983JxTJMXV8&feature=related]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=983JxTJM ... re=related[/url] [/QUOTE]
