communityNasturtium: super easy to grow & germinates quickly,

smell & taste gorgeous, leaves & flowers may be added to black
tea to give an earl grey-like flavourHorehound: leaves have a very interesting texture, can be made into delicious lozenges to treat coughs Luffa:
yes, like the sponges! A friend of mine successfully grew & dried
her own luffas & they look just like store-bought ones! Chocolate Mint: need I say more??  Nigella:
very easy to grow, has very beautiful alien-like blue flowers that can
be dried & applied to herbal wreaths, has edible seeds Perilla
