Still Planning The 2018 Herb Garden

Researching Mullein

I have been waffling about adding too many new herbs and plants to next year's garden so I have been very carefully making sure each addition has some medicinal reason for being there.

I am looking mainly for herbs and plants with anti-inflammatory and anxiety reducing side effects. Hence why I have chamomile, catnip, lemon balm and others. Sure some plants and herbs have beautiful flowers and blooms, but I want to make sure I grow plants with more than an aesthetic purpose.

I came across an article in my husband's local hunting and outdoors' magazine this weekend that provoked more thought into planting (or finding an established plant growing wild) mullein.

The article was full of great history of the plant, its uses and where to find it locally.

After reading the article twice, I was convinced and needed no more prodding. Mullein was being added to my drawing/sketch of the 2018 herb garden.

Adding Mullein To My Herb Garden

I still have some 'wiggle' room to add this to my herb garden, as when I had been planning next year's garden, greenhouse set up and seed growing strategy, I left a few 'slots' open to adding more as I come across herbs for beneficial and medicinal uses.

So having mullein added to the garden should be a breeze.

How To Use Mullein From Dr. Axe Website

In my renewed research, I came across this website and it offered up a great chart with information; which I will be adding to my gardening and herb journals for future referencing.
