Growing My Own Drugs part 2.

Ok so on the success of the herb garden I decided to give the other small part of the garden a make over in a similar way. It was coming up to May Day bank holiday which ment 3 for 2 plant sale at B&Q YEY!
Plant I was looking for in particular were heather for my bee friends, lemon balm and sage for herbal remedies.
I found all these and set about adding to my medicinal garden, along with the Raspberry bush I raised, strawberry cuttings, blueberry plant and 2 different honeysuckle plants I bought at work for like £2.

I've done a bit of research before choosing the plants I have some remedies are more obvious than others, blueberries are high in antioxidants and along with raspberries and strawberries taste delish. But did you know that raspberry leaf and sage tea is good for hot flushes. And honeysuckle is good for headaches, rashes, colds and flu. Lemon balm has anti viral and anti bacterial properties also so again good for colds and flu.
