Outlining a new podcast episode on weeds and the Victorian language of flowers.
Can't place "Speedwell," so I go digging, and it's:
- Veronica spp, a mat-forming weed I pull up
- been used as a cure-all tea since the Romans
- edible
- everywhere because our Victorian forebears loved it in their gardens.
🤯
What else don't I know about these mundane-yet-amazing plants?
Anybody got a favorite Speedwell fact or myth?

#HERBS have been used medicinally by many cultures for centuries ~ SAFELY! Prescription drugs aren't bad, but they tend to have more harmful side effects in general than herbs do.
Consider the many benefits of taking #lemonbalm for example ~ you may receive a number of #HEALTH benefits w/few to no side effects.
🤓Do research on credible websites such as w/ #DrAxe who IMO, combines both #traditionalmedicine w/ #alternativemedicine wonderfully.
Consult w/your doctor as needed😉
