Everyone on my post about toxic invasive air potatoes vines in florida:

'Wow, it looks like ube, you can eat it! :D'

Me, typing fast : " they're in the same family and the leaves look the same, but this isn't ube and can be unsafe to eat for you and your pets'

Next comment: obviously you don't know what you're talking about, the leaves look like an ube plant'

Me: the leaves do look the same! but when the aerial tubers grow in they'll look very different to ube; these plants are poisonous, please don't eat them.

Next comment: ma'am that's an ube plant. I know cause I seen leaves once, and the leaves look like those leaves, and no plants in the world have similar leaves, so imma eat em

Me: Please. DONT. Eat. Them.

Any people with sheep in the central florida area willing to sell wool to me?

I'm willing to clean and process it myself - I want to try making my own wool batting for quilts. But I can't have the damn cute things in my back yard ( not enough space, HOA would also say no).

If you also know cheaper ways to get 100% wool for quilt batting let me know too ( that stuff is expensive); but yeah I'm happy to throw money at local people who can give wool.

Is there like a network or forum I can join of sheep farmers willing to sell wool? Come on guys, we gotta keep the sheep people in business!!!
