I also have that book on herbs written by a research doctor at MD Anderson hospital in Houston, so I need to look in that book and make decisions.

Unless you plan to become a serious herbalist, most of what you want to grow will be for eating. The ones I would not want to be without for seasoning/flavor that do not come easily from seed:

**rosemary** (there are many types, but as far as I know, they all have much the same scent/flavor)
**spearmint** mints do not come true from seed. Chilled spearmint tea on a hot day is about the most refreshing thing you can imagine--you can make it from fresh leaves. Plant this in a container or in an area that it can take over, because it WILL take over.

because it WILL take over.

Amen.

I'm waiting to see if the catnip does the same.

“Unless you plan to become a serious herbalist, most of what you want to grow will be for eating. The ones I would not want to be without for seasoning/flavor that do not come easily from seed:”

The Houston doctor has the research in the book so one knows for sure what herbs and certain foods he also includes, actually do help certain conditions. I am not a “don’t use medicine but use these herbs, person.” I will use the information wisely.

I do want Rosemary but not mint as I am not a fan of mint in anything. Chocolate patties with peppermint is gross. :o( I knew the grown daughter of the man who developed York Peppermint Patties after she inherited that wealth and she was gross, too, in my opinion, as she would sue a person for anything and did. There is a long story there. I didn’t like chocolate and mint together before I met her so she didn’t influence my opinion. :o)
