Its really quite amazing how many items in the medicine cabinet can be replaced by herbs. As you pointed out, they offer a great opportunity to save money, being easy to grow ( even in small spaces ), harvesting and storage are carefree , and the uses are endless... both culinary and homeopathic. Many are such prolific growers that an abundant harvest gives the grower ample quantity to sell or trade. Learning to use a variety of herbs in salves, rinses and oils is beneficial from a wallet and health standpoint. I value knowing the growing practices and that the herbs we use are free of chemical usage. Thank you for a great reply and being a follower.
