The vegetable plots are abundant with Calendula, Maravilha and Borage, Borragem! Two great herbs that have delicious flowers and the leaves of the Calendula are so sweet. These two also provide huge medicine, such as Solar plexus herb-Calendula giving soothing and restorative healing. Borage with its magnificent blue and healing vitality to the Heart and personal expression. The cinnamon Basil is also starting to gain strength and although is not huge at the moment, packs a mighty aroma! I have continued to make huge quanties of Comfrey, seaweed and now adding Nettle to our liquid fertilizer. Gorgeous stuff and the veg plots love it! More radishes are coming up and Coriander and Parsley have germinated this week. Tiny little leaves showing me clearly they are the Apiacea family. It is the strong aromas that blow me away, gorgeous and pungent and clearly defining themselves. Swiss chard and carrots very tasty and the beetroots getting bigger. I forgot to add, Plantain has come to join both plots and it is a joy to see this great plant. It is a very mineral rich herb and so good in green smoothies. Also Plantain (Plantago major) Língua de vaca is a great medicine helping in congestive sinus problems and gut inflammation to name a few of its super attributes.
