Growing medicinal foods

I also recommended it to my best friend last time she had a problem with it and donated 10 heads of garlic to the cause. Fortunately, she _likes_ garlic! It worked for her as well. I think it would help to have an Italian boyfriend;-) snicker Eaten in recipes, NOT made into a douche. Pardon for the semi-off-topic post, but one can grow garlic too. g Like other foods, it's very medicinal. I knew about garlic for B.P. B.P.??? but not yeast infections. Odd though, I would have thought that garlic and fungi would have gotten along, they do in my kitchen ) Heh! I refrigerate garlic in a basket in the 'frige. Onions are stored in a basket at room temp. Baskets are really good to keep stored veggies dry and slows mold growth. I keep old easter baskets (the cheap ones) and just cut the handles off. Medicinal garden foods might make an interesting thread... Did you know that a thyme flower decoction is anti-bacterial and used as a gargle is good for sore throats? Sorry, we weren't talking nose and throats, were we? Sure! We are talking medicinal uses. :-) I have two different varieties of thyme in the herb garden so that's a good hint. Right now, regular use of milk thistle capsules seems to be drastically shortening the length and severity of head colds! Seriously. I'm considering growing it since it does well in this climate. I have trouble growing garlic. I'm probably not doing it right. Never been able to get it to "clove" for me, but onions did ok. They seem to like sandier soil. But, with the cost of water here, it's cheaper for me anymore to purchase most veggies instead of trying to grow them. :-( I've already ordered mine for this fall. I'm using the shot-gun approach. I'm planting several types in different spots on my north facing hillside. Later and thanks for the catch. Cheers! :-) Thanks to Jan too for the garlic website http://www.filareefarm.com/ -- Peace!
