Starting a Herbal Tea Garden

While I spend most of my time working to grow veggies and berries, my 15 year old has been studying the benefits of a variety of herbs. She is very interested in making her own herbal teas. Last fall she did plant some catnip, rosemary and peppermint. Her peppermint and rosemary never fully established. She also decided on a whim when finding a dandelion that had went to seed, that she wanted to use it to plant her own dandelion for dandelion root tea.

In this video we transplant her dandelion as well as her catnip. We also tried to start some new rosemary and peppermint plants. Those peppermint seeds are about the size of the tip of a pin! Hopefully some will take!

All in all, I am excited to watch her herbal garden take off and see her complete the process of making teas from her herbs.
