Experience
I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.

Herbs - Herbs to grow

Expert: Leroy J. Wilton - 10/26/2009

Question
I live in the Pacific Northwest-45 miles north of Seattle Washington. I would like to grow mostly herbs, and some flowers in my large flower beds which extends from one end of the house to the other. We have a few Rodadendrens, along with Candy tuff alternating with Lithodora as perennials. We have a large amout of room for annual flowers but I would love to grow less flowers and lots of herbs especially if they flower (I already have Lavender) I'm a "herbie earthy sort of gal." I also love essential oils. And can you suggest a male enhancement herb for me to grow-I know that's sort of personal but what the heck-there's some things in life that we just love. I won't think you'll be given me a remedy; just a suggestion. Thanks for your assistance.

Warm regards,
Brenda

Answer
Brenda:
The first suggestion is to contact State extension service dept. for soil conditions needed for herbs. Go to books by tom debaggio on amazon. There is a "big book of herbs" by debaggio & arthur O. tucker. It costs about $40.00, but is loaded with herbs, names & uses in their countries. The Tom Debaggio books are very helpful. I have not looked at the male enhancement plants here. There are a few in africa & india. I have heard from customers in the west indies that the herb called"shadow bennie, recao, culantro, and 97 other names. It has a strong cilantro flavor and can be used fresh or dried. I was told it was used in salads for male enhancement. No other info.
