The Monday before Jaron was born, G and I shopped for plants for my medicinal herb garden. I had made a shopping list months ago after listening to a podcast about good plants for treating people and animals. I also took notes from the Holistic Goat Facebook group on plants to put in goat pastures to let them self-treat their ailments.
Outback Nursery was our shopping location. We found quite a bit! Some on my list, and some the workers suggested being good for herbalism.
I really liked how each plant had a nametag with pertinent information on it. I took pictures of all the signs to make it easier to make my garden layout.
And tried to get the plants themselves in the background so I'd remember what each plant looks like. I need to make sure they're labeled accurately so I'm able to use the herbs the most beneficial way.
Jaron's birth threw off our plan for planting them. We have neighbors making sure they are watered and stay alive. I need to come up with a layout map ASAP so the plants can get in the ground. G wanted to plop them in wherever there was space, but I think we should take the time to do it right the first time, even with our current situation and the Lawns to Legumes looming deadline... the end of November.
