We share the love of herbs. May I suggest adding Rosemary. You can use it for cooking but also you can add some in a hot bath and it soothes achy muscles. <br />huggs,<br />BrendaBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297211863097389178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-74238390148849635872012-01-25T10:41:23.152-05:002012-01-25T10:41:23.152-05:00What a pleasant surprise for me this morning, I ha...What a pleasant surprise for me this morning, I have grown herbs for years and enjoy them so much. Your plants look so healthy. My plans this year are to increase my herb garden, thanks for the sites I have already book marked them. I enjoyed the video too, I grew apple mint last year but didn't use them I just enjoyed going by the garden and cutting some stems to place in water. This year I will try the tea.I found herbs to be so forgiving when I neglect them ~smile~, have you found this too?<br />Enjoyed your post from yesterday on the orange marmalade cake, it looks so delicious, it reminds me of a coconut cake I make with an orange sauce between the layers, so delicious.<br />Thank you for sharing,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-62248854966565496802012-01-25T02:19:57.352-05:002012-01-25T02:19:57.352-05:00I love the Homestead Blessings gals!!

It's truly stunning and it's all in my head.

But herbs are so friendly and accomodating. <br /><br />I have not done anything with medicinal herbs. I have used mine mostly for cooking and caterpillar growing. We grow rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, parsley, dill, lavender, basil, and rue. <br /><br />Really...for many years, the children, and now the grandchildren, have enjoyed watching the swallowtail caterpillars grow from tiny, tiny creatures to fat fellows as they eat the rue and the parsley. Usually once a summer, someone gets a caterpillar (or two) and watches it through its metamorphosis into butterfly! It's worth sacrificing a bit of parsley!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-57340479762295349282012-01-24T19:53:48.485-05:002012-01-24T19:53:48.485-05:00I have their breadmaking dvd and all the others ar...I have their breadmaking dvd and all the others are on my wishlist.<br /><br />I do grow herbs but not a lot.

This is something I keep forgetting. Wonder what's good for memory... Now I just need to learn how to harvest them. I take echinacea daily through cold and flu season and have done so for a number of years. I can honestly report that I've not had a cold in that time, though I've felt "threatened" by one. In those cases, I take one extra dose daily. I swear by its efficacy and, yes, I know that it is important to tell your doctor. I told mine and she said that she was very pleased with my taking it.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-82985669332739087132012-01-24T12:03:26.399-05:002012-01-24T12:03:26.399-05:00We love herbs at our home too, and I will be plant...We love herbs at our home too, and I will be planting parsley and basil seeds soon.
