The return of the tobacco plant.  This plant (a glorified weed, I guess you could call it) returns every spring.  I call it a tobacco plant because as kids, we would take the dried seeds from similar looking weeds, wrap them in a piece of paper and try to smoke them like a cigarette.  Thankfully, the highly acidic smoke would cause us to back off before taking a puff.  I'm fond of the plant though, and allow it to grow to it's full length, which is about three or four feet.  Right now it's about ankle high.  Perhaps this year I will get my Weeds of the West book off the shelf and find out what it's really called.

A mildly toxic plant called curly dock.

back when I was a youngin' and drinking with currently dead people, There was a San Diego area band called Bad Radio. when I see this thread, I think about the band. I finally googled to see what information is out there because they never put out a record. Eddie Vedder and the drummer from 4 non-blondes Through that band at one time or another

AHH When I thought up the name I decided to do a search where I did see the band you refer too.
