I'm trying them again this year, too. The last time I was growing a lot of them a Florida flood killed them.

My kids can seriously eat about a pint of tomatoes a day---they eat cherry tomatoes like grapes. I can't afford to buy that many!

It actually mixes well with everything. Some chamomile flowers would make it tasty and extra relaxing, peppermint is inexpensive and good with everything in my book :)<br /><br />A good insomnia tea: valerian (strong taste, you may want to skip it, but a sleep promoter), passion flower, chamomile, calendula (also good for skin)<br /><br />Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445764937751339633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-88232927779863998742015-01-08T08:53:18.107-05:002015-01-08T08:53:18.107-05:00I have a huge passionflower vine and would like to...I have a huge passionflower vine and would like to make a tea with other herbs but cannot find a good recipe on the Internet .maybe you know a good combination to make a healthy good tasting tea blend.

They're one of those weird ones that are super easy or impossible, at least they're cheap to buy :P Tomatoes are my fav, they are tricky to grow but I'm excited to work hard on it this year!

I grew cilantro which is almost used daily at our house successfully for the first time. All the times before were containers, this time I put it in a flower bed which it seemed to like way more. I have to wait a month or two before starting the seeds though.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-4924844052843093402015-01-07T12:34:12.596-05:002015-01-07T12:34:12.596-05:00I hope it helps.
