Herbs

[mingbop]

I have been really ill for ten days, with a chest infection. No immune system and it really pulls me down. Yesterday was the absolute pits, I had got hardly any sleep for a week, a chest full of glue, a head full of cotton wool, and legs of sponge. I was A MESS, mental & physical...
so last night, I lit a candle (which I never do normally) -and asked the guides to please give me a calm mind and a decent sleep. I had the most amazing sleep, for 11 hours. In my sleep I was shown the plot of garden under the front window, which was earmarked for white gravel and boulders but I didnt have the money for the gravel. I was planting herbs in it with somebody beside me, who was pointing out where to put the mint. !..So I take it that's a contract from spirit then , and I must do it. "We give you a good sleep, but you listen to us and prove that you did by planting herbs "...?
either way,I have the herb garden's catalogue right here as we speak !

An herb garden would be wonderful I think!

Possibly both real & symbolic ....... to plant a herb garden IRL but also given the fact you remember mint specifically - perhaps a need to find out what that could mean to you personally?

Mint
A minty dream - whether you dreamed of a breath mint, or the herb mint - foretells happier times for the healthy, and healthier times to someone who has been unwell.

Mint can also denote virtue.

I am , indeed. very virtuous. If not healthy.

Sweet Basil.

I had a huge pot of it in the front window (how I love the smell of it!) But now I'm the only one in the house who likes fresh pesto, so it overgrew last summer and eventually died.

But, oh, definitely Sweet Basil if it will grow where you are.

Mingpop, you might want to google "how to grow herbs", if you've never grown any.
There's lots of good information out there.

I like anything I can get my hands on, for inside and porch plants. But I do hope to have a green house one day.

I have some basil right now, and some mints in a planter with some alvacado seedlings in a planter now.

ok ta. I do love pesto ... the problem for me is I'm high up and very exposed to cold winds, so we can't have anything mediterranean.. I love rosemary , I love thyme , thave that round the back, - I have lemon balm, love that. The thing is to get it all to grow round the front now. I will do it though.
