Everyone who has a garden knows how irritated grass can be. It grows and grows everywhere, threatening to suffocate our, carefully chosen flowers and spoil the whole image of the garden. Weed can grow practically everywhere, both on dry or wet soil. While we’re in our gardening wars against weed, we forget one very important fact. Every weed is either healing herb, or spice. So, there’s only useful plants and they all grow with a purpose. Here, I’ll introduce you some herbs with their healing properties. Many of them are well known, but some will come as surprises. So, next time, don’t get irritated by weed, just pick it and make yourself a nice herbal tea. Enjoy! π

Only one mistake, I am so proud of myself. π
Wow! That’s an awesome score. π Good job, girl! π
Thanks for the quiz. I love a garden of herbs. Therapeutic to the mind, soul and taste buds :-p
I’ve enjoyed my time here. Thanks!
You’re so kind. π I love to have herbs in my garden, so I can use them when I need. Also, I just love herbal teas. π
Very interesting and instructive quiz-it seems that I get to know a little about medicinal flowers-6/8
That’s a good score, Lado. π Thanks for taking the quiz. π
I missed the one about Calendula because here marigold and calendula are the same thing.
Yes, I noticed that. Here, we call marigolds ”zenke” and calendulas ”neven”. π
Enjoyed this quiz. I’ve never used oregano for tea. But I do remember my friend used chamomile for her skin. 5 out of 8.
Nice score. π Oregano tea is very good for suppressing severe cough. π
I missed one. This was a good quiz – well done!
Bravo, excellent job! π Thank you for the compliment. π
I must say one of my favorite quizs.
Thanks. π It’s a great honor to fulfill your criteria. π
Got 5!!! Maybe I just love gardening but less interested in knowing their names. hahaha…
I wonder if those plants grow on your part of the world…..
We will definitely be making out constantly…
What? I’m just curious…….. π
Hahahahaha… That’s the secret between I and plants!
well interesting. i got 2/8. next time play again and would do better. nice post though.
Thanks. π I’m sure you’ll do it much better next time. π
Got 6 correct, a good one!
Bravo, Carol! π That’s a good score. π
2/8 means I should stay out of the garden
Definitely. π You can draw herbs, but don’t pluck them. π
It’s a deal! Zaklina is wiser than Solomon…
Hahahahahahaha, don’t exaggerate. Sometimes I could be smart, but wisdom…… in fifty years, maybe…. π
Actually, I think it was Solomon’s reputation that is exaggerated. Majorly…
5/8 here loved it! Good quiz.
That’s quite a good score, Kim. π Thanks for taking the quiz. π
5/8, not so bad for me!!! The tea with mint – what could be better?
Try mint tea with some ground ginger root and orange peel in it. π
OK, thank you so much for your advice, definitely try!!!
It’s just a suggestion. π I love my tea that way, so maybe somebody else would like it, too. π
Now, I would have had a tea from Thymus – majΔina duΕ‘ica.
Great choice, my friend. π I am just having soothing lemon balm tea. π
There is no high-quality tea without the sunshine. This year is a lot of rainy.
Tell me about it…. Earlier today I’ve experienced the worst storm in my life. It was so hard that both electricity and water supplying failed for dozen hours. π

Maticnjak, limunova trava
Most of the things here are lost in translation for us. But we try to keep up and learn more. π
I knew everything but the mistake in the English translation. “Ruzmarin nema kome da miriΕ‘e…” Hari Mata Hari π
