The virus is taking over.
From coronavirus to common colds; I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been sick or had to take care of someone ill this year. Last week a cold knocked me down, my son brought it home and spread it to everyone in the house.
I’m feeling better now but like everyone else; the possibility of catching something new has been swirling around in my mind. So I’m preparing myself better for the next time.
There’s plants we can grow at home known for being great to have medicinal purposes.
Here’s 3 plants I think are easy to grow at home:
