true. I had always had a fancy for herbal tea and spices and wanted to know how they had been grown.
The garden was just behind the house. There were different areas for crops such as peas, onions, carrots, potatoes and peppers; herb boxes with the fantastically aromatic smell of mint, the French tarragon with its sweet scent, the rosemary with its fragrant needle-like leaves blossoming white, pink, purple and blue flowers, the sage and many others that I could not remember their names. Next to the herbs, there were several hives and several species of plants that nourish the bees. ‘‘The bees are crucial to the well-being of our environment,‘‘ my grandma said to me. “Growing and harvesting herbs for medicine making take much time, need a lot of knowledge and hard work “. ‘‘I can help you, “ I said spontaneously. My grandma was very happy. We watered the plants, fed the chicken, pruned the hedge, picked up herbs till the end of the day.
