chocolate mint, basil, purple basil and
comfrey,” Williams says. Comfrey, often used in teas and tonics for heal-ing,
is said to help heal broken bones.
Rosemary is a very popular plant and herb. “It’s used for so many things
— tea, tea for bathing, kabob sticks. It’s supposed to be good for medicinal
purposes. It’s the plant of remembrance,” Williams says.
For grilling kabob sticks, Williams says you can cut one of the stems
about eight or ten inches long. “It doesn’t hurt it to prune it back. Just
take the outer bark off and it makes a pretty little stick,” he says.
Rosemary is easy to grow once you get it established, Williams says. Just
make sure you offer good drainage. “Rosemary is a very hardy plant but
you don’t want to put it anywhere wet,” he says.
