What herbs/vitamins help alleviate depression/anxiety? Common ones, please, I don't have access to much…

Filed under :Medicinal Herbs

I don’t have access to many health stores, etc. So any common vitamins or herbs or even foods that can help boost the emotional level of someone depressed, suffering from Anxiety would be great. P.S. I’ll have to slip it into his lifestyle, he’s not real open to this kind of thing. So it has to be normal food & stuff, that I can just have around the house for him to dig into when he’s ready. Thanks

Filed under :Herb Garden

I live in in Phoenix AZ and really want my backyard full of beautiful plants, mainly flowers & herbs. With little kids around I don’t want cactus or poisonous plants. I know I’ll have aloe vera, rosemary and mint.
Most of the yard gets little shade (late afternoon only). What kind of plants should I plant & when? I hate killing them all the time :( I have the opposite of a green thumb. Help Desert Gardeners!!!!!!!! :)


How can I keep squirrels (& other animals) out of my garden?

Filed under :Herb Garden

I’m planting herbs, fruit & vegetables, and flowers in my yard and I’m wondering how to keep squirrels (& any other animals) from eating and/or destroying them. I’ve heard of using coffee or cayenne pepper, but I wasn’t sure if this would effect the taste of the herbs & fruits & veggies.
Thanks!
