Cool! let us know how it goes!

That's interesting. Keep us updated!
Yeah.. To be honest, I don't know how it got there. I didn't plant it.

That's usually how I get half my plants.
I believe a lot of it comes from composting fruit, veg, anything. Had a random tomato plant come up in my pumpkin patch.
I haven't even grown any tomatoes this year.
I'm have no patience so most of my plants die. I forget to water them.

I do have an apple tree I grew from a seed some years back. It's getting fairly tall.

Haha I get some that way. My compost is separate, and normally ages for years, so I don't think it's from that.
The apple orchard came with our house. It's probably almost a hundred years old.

Well, I’ve been looking into buying some sustainably sourced organic herbs to create a natural first aid kit. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to obtain them? They’ll have to be reasonably priced.
I would grow them myself, but I think it’s too late in the season this year. I’m going to grow some next year though.

Not a clue.
What kinds of thing would you be looking for?

Like Yarrow, Plantain, Echinacea, Burdock Root, Comfrey, Usnea, Mallow, and more common herbs like sage, oregano, thyme, ect. Anything medicinal.
I’d like to buy in bulk.

Tea tree is good.
Coconut oil too, although that's not exactly a herb.
Some good ones here.

If your putting a first aid kit together, look on the Fresh Eggs Daily blog, or read the book.
