Making Cleavers Spring Tonic or growing Homunculus?

I gave the Lawn its first cut of the season and Cleavers (Galium aparine) is growing there so too good an opportunity to not make Spring Tonic..
Cleavers helps support Lymphatic flow, can help with fluid balance and skin support too if you’re a bit puffy..
I have just added this to filtered water and will let it sit over night in the fridge and drink some over the next couple of days. 🌿

Potting up and potting on on The Herb Garden
These lovely tall blue pots, were donated by a volunteer so perfect for planting more Rosemary.
Also potted on Myrtle as she was looking a bit poorly and has out grown her pot, so bigger pot some fresh compost and a little feed to get her back to health..
it’s a beautiful day to be working outside and working with Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) formally Rosmarinus officinalis. It’s a strong smelling herb with medicinal and culinary uses. Benefits are it is full of antioxidants, boosts and supports Memory, can support heart and circulation. And is an anti-inflammatory. Use as a fresh herb in food, drink Rosemary tea and, for aromatherapy use Oils. 💚🌿

Have you tried Hairy Bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta)
Other names include Hoary bittercress, Hairy bittercress, Popping cress or Pepperw**d
Its leaves, flowers and seeds are edible. They are slightly peppery and are a great addition to a salad( ones in picture went in my Salad tonight..
Benefits of this edible w**d are it is rich in Vitamins A, C and Iron. And has antioxidants.
In Eastern Europe they use the Seeds as a good substitute to Mustard..
its value as a plant is it’s a good soil improver due to its long root system. **ds **ds 🌿💚

A little update on The Herb Garden
Started the tidy up yesterday. A significant day being full moon and a total lunar eclipse.
Lots of w**ds to get out but lots of self seeded Herbs to pot on too.. Self heal has spread well. A little before and after pic of bed 2 one of the Apothecary beds. Vervain has emerged and Motherwort is doing well. And a nice clear space for more herbs to be planted.
Seedlings have all of a sudden popped from the soil, Pics include Fennel, Mugwort and Corn flowers for the Dyers garden. A beautiful day to be outside all day and we ate outside too which is always a bonus..
