One of the things I've been wanting to do for a long time is learn and practice with medicinal herbs. I've decided this is my year. :) No putting it off. Last week I was talking with friends, you know who you are, and I got all fired up about it again.
Today the last seed was put into the ground, for now. I mixed of few of my culinary herbs in with the medicinals due to lack of space. :)
Above we have lemon balm, chamomile, and stevia.

Zac has been busy making some grow boxes for me this week. The box in the foreground has: borage, mullein, marshmallow, chamomile, navajo tea, evening primrose and lemon balm.

The plants at the far end are: two lemon grass and one lemon thyme. The closest plants are one valerian and one pineapple sage. Seeds: Goldenrod, milkweed, basil, oregano, and parsley.

In the smallest box we have: comfrey, valerian, comfrey seeds, and lemon verbena.
This box wasn't in the second picture, it's in another part of the yard. It has red clover and calendula.

In the hopes of keeping it somewhat contained I have the peppermint in a planter.
I have two calendula plants in the big garden due to lack of space.
Also in the second picture, you'll notice a box at the back that is about half the size of the two big ones. That is Jack's box. He requested one yesterday for his garden. :) Since we think gardening is an important life skill, we couldn't resist.

He planted: 2 strawberries, 3 onions, 6 hot poker flowers, a bunch of lettuce and 1 watermelon. He was very specific on what he wanted and how many of each. What we find interesting is out of all of those the only thing he'll actually eat is watermelon. He is very proud of his garden and while we were buying the strawberries was telling everyone who would listen about his box.
Here's hoping for sprouts!
