Regarding Gardening~~
In the nearly six years I have owned the house in which I live, I have learned a great deal about gardening and plant life.  Most notably, I now know what I should have done and when I should have done it.

The catalogues have begun to arrive and I will soon begin to breathe & dream
gardening...

When I do, you'll be able to come here to see where the hell I've been and what I've been doing.

Basic Herbal Stock
~herb specific information~

Because there are so many wonderful sites and books available to an aspiring herbalist, I will not attempt to feature an extensive listing of species here.  Instead, I will concentrate on those plants and items that are readily available.  Knowing about the healing or magical properties of exotic species does not help me tend to my family on a daily basis.

When I first began to investigate herbs, I wanted to know how to use the parsley I could get free at the grocery store and the mint that grew wild in my backyard.  I actually stock or grow all of the items listed in this section.
