yay...our cyber-herb garden is under way!
i'm going to research your question trilioth...i have some good sources on hand.
but i have a confession...
i did the impetuous aries thing again...yesterday i was shopping for organic lawn products and potting soil for my little christmas tree (from last christmas and begging to be repotted in a real planter...)
and i found myself in the most spectacular place with an abundant selection of herbs and all kinds of loveliness! i purchased rosemary, oregano, mugwort, lemon verbena, garlic and yarrow. all have strong spiritual and protective properties.
and as i am wont to gather the stuff and then let it fall by the wayside, i went ahead and simply planted them, with organic potting soil in some terra cotta containers. i have so many gardening books and websites that i've only purchased, skimmed, and then put aside, i thought some action this time would serve me better than researching and doing it the 'proper' way. i suppose this is how one really learns!
i'm sorry that i didn't wait and begin our cyber garden in sync with the world. but i am just beginning, with an enormous need for knowledge in this area, so i hope to share experiences and tips with anyone who cares to contribute to the LL garden, whether it be seeking or offering guidance and advice.
my bent is organic...all the way, but this is a garden for everyone, so i hope that this thread will entertain seekers and guides and growers of all colors and persuasions...
viva la earth-upon-our-hands-and-hearts!
