Ok so I have finally started my herb garden! Super Yay!!I've been wanting to start one for absolutely ages but living in Halls of Residence means I have no garden and pretty much no privacy. The only bit of green I have in my room is a gerbera plant that doesn't seem to enjoy it too much.
So when I came home for the Easter holiday I decided to get active with my Herbal Craft. I bought an amazing book called "Grow Your Own Drugs" by James Wong (look out for the URL below) and picked out 4 or 5 herbs I really wanted to grow. His book is amazing and full of natural remedy recipes. Anything from creams to teas, infusions to face masks. You can find all sorts in there. It really is a super book. It is an English book so some measurements might look funny but it's a fantastic find.
In the end I had a real struggle picking just 4 when I went to the garden centre so I grabbed 3 plants I had no intention of growing when I made my list but I'm glad I got them now. In the end I picked:
- Chamomile
- Mint
- Viola
- Lemongrass
- Rosemary
- Comfrey
So at the moment all of them are inside to warm themselves up. Then I'll pop them into containers outside for the summer.
What sort of plants are you guys growing? What do you intend to use them for? Let me know and I'll keep you updated!
Love to you all,
