I&#8217;ve only scratched the surface on medicating oneself herbally, but the stuff I&#8217;ve read about the benefits of Calendula are remarkable, especially in regards to the skin.

		<description><![CDATA[This spearmint plant was a $2 liquidation find at Loblaws that I couldn&#8217;t resist. But it was getting wilty due to the heat. The plants in the front get a lot of sun during the day and they dry out very quickly, especially since they&#8217;re in containers.

I scattered the herd among three medium-sized TROFAST bins from IKEA, making a total of four vermicomposters in the house.
