Hello

Hi everyone, I'm Jaffa from the UK.

Here for

Enjoy growing herbs, but still very new, so might need help with identification and growing advice at times - if nobody minds their brains being picked ?

Set up

One indoor green house and one outdoor.
Had more growing, but some plants just wouldn't take for me - What survived was.

- st John's wort
- White Yarrow
- Marsh mellow
- Worm wood (been so helpful for keeping pests away)
- Mother wort (Tho I'm sure it's a mint, might need help with this one)

Talk soon

We don't mind our minds being picked, that's partly what we're all here for. You won't be able to pick mine though, I know very little about herbs, sorry.

 

Aren't most of the herbs you mention medicinal rather than culinary?

 

Welcome, Jaffa.

Hello @jaffacake90 and Welcome to Gardeners Corner

 

Thanks guys

I'll try to post a question along with an image today on this plant - it's young & can't figure out what it is.

"Aren't most of the herbs you mention medicinal rather than culinary?"

Yes. I'm from a medical background and became interested in what we used in the past. It's interesting to find painkillers, antiseptics, anti-inflammation, anxiety meds everywhere.

 

The medical scientists: The evidence supporting plants for medicinal use is very vague and inconclusive.

Also the medical scientists: We should all eat a diverse range of plant based foods for a myriad of proven health benefits.
