Question
Bethane OCONNELL –
Hi. In this collection you offer Burdock. It is very invasive here and I have a supply about four miles from our place. Is it possible to exchange Burdock for Lobelia or Mullein?

Under the circumstances you can probably save money by buying the packets individually and ordering only exactly what you want.

How many of these herbs are heirloom and will grow back year after year?
(0) (0)
Richo Cech –
hello V, In a sense they are all heirloom because their ancestry goes back thousands of years. The Calendula is a self-seeding annual, the burdock and wild lettuce are biennial, and the rest are long-lived herbaceous perennials. r

These are exactly the basic ones I would choose. Thanks for putting them together. I haven’t quite figured out how to grow them here (greenhouse or outside). But I’m working on it.

Could have sworn last time I bought this a few years ago, there were twice as many plants in this mix. Used to be flax, nettles, astragalus, wood betony, epazote, evening primrose, motherwort,…

Hi Derek,
You’re thinking of “Lifeline.” We still have that, it is different from this “survival” collection.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out a beginning medicinal garden. After a lot of study I looked collections and discovered a better list already put together. I bought ymthe Essential snd the survival collections. As well as a fe more such as Lomatium and Osha which I considered Essential. Next month I am ring ordering some more as well as his other two books about growing at risk and the greenhouse ones. Thanks Rico. You made it much easier.
