I always learn from you that what I thought was just a weed is in fact beautiful and useful, my eyes are always scanning around now. I once was blind but now I see….thank you 😊

Weeds are just well flowering plants 😁 often 'weeds' are useful and necessary. Funny how we've come to associate weeds with being a nuisance.

Another great video, thank you. I do eat herb Robert sometimes and it’s medicinal properties are varied and impressive. I mostly use a handful crushed on my arms and legs in the summer when I am out and about as it keeps flies, gnats and midges away. I have always known this plant as stinky Bob, for good reason.

I had this growimg wild where I used to live, got in all my flower ours and ended up bringing it to my new place, and yet again has grown mad again, I'm so glad it's a herbal, Im doing a herbology diploma and realising so much ony garden is actually the sort of plants I need to thrive. I want to get off man made meds and use my garden as my pharmacy . Thank you for your helpful videos ❤️

Thank you. Always wondered what was growing in the rocks up against my house. Have always let them grow because I think they are pretty plants. Wondered whether or not they were weeds but guess they are a wild flower.

Ahh cool so this is what it's called. Whilst gardening last week I pulled some of this up, noticing it's coriander like smell. Interesting to know it's edible. Thank you I may use this in a curry ☺ Edit: can you dry you it out and use it also as a dried herb

I’ve not actually tried it as a dried herb. It’s already quite an intense flavour and drying would make it more intense. I’ll give it a go though!
