Kitchen Witch's World of Magical Herbs & Plants

Early morning is the best time of day to harvest herbs just after the sun has dried the leaves, but before it gets too hot.

Herbs are generally easy plants to grow because they don’t require a lot of care and space. They don’t succumb easily to diseases or insect problems and will grow in most soil types.

Some important factors to consider when beginning an herb garden are that herbs need a good amount of sunlight – 4 to 6 hours a day preferably. They grow in most soil types except wet, badly drained soil. Although if you use pots then you can give them good soil and feed.

Paracelsus (a Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist and occultist) said: “Everything is poison; it is the dose that makes the medicine.”
