  Our herbal beds have flourished this year and we’ve recently been drying  seeds to propagate more medicinal plants so that we can really take a  harvest. The wool has really helped as a mulch.    marsh-mallow Althaea officinalis hocysen y morfa: “the leaves, flowers, roots and seeds are all edible.
