  • Could you advise me whether there is a herb which I could use in an infusion perhaps, to help the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis? Also something to minimise the effects of stress as I find the condition is aggravated by it.

    Thanks, and good luck for Chelsea - your stands are stunning at GWL, I haven't been to Chelsea - too busy getting stressed at work!

  • I have and old butler sink in my garden (shallow type)which I hope is suitable for growing Thymes. I have lined the bottom with gravel as a start and would love some recommendations as to what varieties to look for. I get a lot of slug damage in the area am I right in thinking they would leave Thymes alone?
    Thanks
  • I have always loved nasturtiums, starting with the fact that I could eat them as a young child and moving into their delightful, peppery taste as an accent in salads as an adult. And now, I love nasturtium vinegar!
  • I sowed some poppy seeds from a packet of cooking poppy seeds from Julian Graves as I wanted to harvest some that I was certain would be edible. To my surprise they have germinated en mass. ( I thought they would probably have been heat treated.) Some other poppies (self seeded) have appeared in another separate bed.
    What type are edible? I have looked on internet but keep getting answers from US where it appears it is illegal to grow poppies at all ( except for californian or welsh poppies). These sites also say that poppy seeds are toxic except for specially grown " for food " varieties grown under licence. Is this just to stop people growing opium poppies or is it true?. What is the legal position in the UK?
  • HI JEKKA, I WANT TO PLANT SOME MEDICINAL HERBS, WHICH ONES WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR MINOR AILMENTS AND STOMACH PROBLEMS?. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CHELSEA GARDEN, WILL YOU INCORPORATE HERBS IN IT?.
  • I have a large Rosemary plant which is getting too big for it's space in my small garden. Can I divide it or is there any other way I can keep it? I'm not sure what to do with it.
