I have to take a hiatus from posting online.  A big project at hand.  Will return in the new year.

That's right, great success with your project, and if it's appropriate to share then hope to hear about it.

 Will try to post a few pics soon. Added to our "survival" garden this past week-end. Added 4 more blueberry bushes, 3 more tomato plants, a cherry tree, 2 dozen more strawberry plants, ( ordered 3 pineberry plants that should arrive today)  and apple mint, curley parsley, echinasia (sp?), 3 kinds of sage, lavender, and 7-8 other kinds of new herbs to the gerb garden bringing us to around 50 kinds of medicinal/ edible herbs. :excited001:

usually my dog gets to my strawberries way before I do,
unluckily she discovered early on, at 10 weeks old, that they were yummy

 Ours thought the strawberries AND the blueberries were for them to play in so we had to put a fence around the beds.

Learn to use those medicinals. At least 80% of medical care is fairy routine and not very specialized. Some herbs really work (unfortunately, rather the same way as any other drug!! Typically symptom relief...), some don't, but combined with routine care you can accomplish a lot.

Hard part is finding valid references, and filtering out what is likely to work from what is not. A few are fairly potent (eg, digitalis) so have respect.
