I took time out last week to walk in the veld, finding indigenous herbs. Made an antibacterial, anti viral tincture from pelargonium sidoide roots. It helps so much with chest congestion, which so many of us are struggling with. We also filled gel capsules with cancer bush which is so bitter to take as a tea. It boosts the immune system and so much more.

We have new labels for our amazing homemade ointments and creams!

Herbs that your cat will enjoy, as well as your garden!

Catnip (nepeta cataria) is a minty plant that most cats love. Cats eat it, roll in it, rub their face on it, or sleep on it. It makes many cats playful and excited. Rolling on the plant, or crushing it by chewing, releases Nepetalactone which cats find stimulating. It's absorbed through the cat's nose and acts like pheromones. Tea made from catnip has a calming effect on humans and can assist in reducing fevers and cold symptoms. Catnip oil can be used as an insect repellent against mosquitos, cockroaches, and termites. It can even repel rats!

Catnip Lemon (Nepeta cataria var. citriodora) produces heavy clusters of white flowers which are very attractive to pollinators, and is an excellent honey plant, providing nectar for honeybees. Lemon catnip can also be used as a tea for alleviating fever and for promoting sleep with its calming effect. It is an insect repellent that helps to repel mosquitoes, fleas, and ants.

Cat Grass (Dactylis glomerata) is a nutritional grass for pet that provides fibre, and essential vitamins and minerals. Cats, dogs, rabbits, and guineapigs love it! This kitty grass can be grown in containers or used as a groundcover.

Catmint (Nepeta mussinii) is a hardy and easy to grow. It has aromatic leaves and produces pretty blue flowers that attracts bees and butterflies. Its somewhat sprawling growth habit makes it great for edging and hanging baskets.

NEPITELLA
Calamintha nepeta

Nepitella is an Italian wild herb that is a staple in any Tuscan kitchen. It is a bushy herb that produces small fuzzy leaves with tiny pale purple flowers in the spring. It is very aromatic and also edible, adding a combination of mint and oregano flavours. It goes well with mushrooms and artichokes, and compliments rich fatty meats. Tea made of Nepitella may be used to treat stomach ailments. Its essential oils are in fact rich in healthy qualities that improve digestion and liver function.

Summer is the best time for growing chilli plants and harvesting their hot and spicey fruits to use in curries, oils, vinegars, salad dressings, pizzas, condiments, sauces, and much more.

Each chilli has its own level of heat ranging from mild to very hot. The Scoville scale is a measurement of the heat level in peppers that ranges from 0 to 16 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), with 0 being no heat and 16 million being the maximum heat level. The Scoville scale is determined by measuring the amount of capsaicin in a pepper, which is the compound responsible for the heat. The higher the capsaicin concentration, the higher the Scoville rating.

Find us at the Sedgefield Wild Oats Community Farmers Market every Saturday morning, from sunrise until 12 noon or during the week from 8am to 5pm at Heatherhill Herbs on the Rheenendal Road.

Select from a big variety of organically grown herb plants and vegetable seedlings. We currently have tasty basil looking fabulous and healthy! If you enjoy something more fiery, we have 10 varieties of chillies to choose from.

Happy gardening!
