Question
I live in the Pacific Northwest-45 miles north of Seattle Washington.  I would like to grow mostly herbs, and some flowers in my large flower beds which extends from one end of the house to the other.  We have a few Rodadendrens, along with Candy tuff alternating with Lithodora as perennials.  We have a large amout of room for annual flowers but I would love to grow less flowers and lots of herbs especially if they flower (I already have Lavender)  I'm a "herbie earthy sort of gal."  I also love essential oils. And can you suggest a male enhancement herb for me to grow-I know that's sort of personal but what the heck-there's some things in life that we just love.  I won't think you'll be given me a remedy; just a suggestion.  Thanks for your assistance.

Warm regards,
Brenda

Brenda:
The first suggestion is to contact State extension service dept. for soil conditions needed for herbs. Go to books by tom debaggio on amazon. There is a "big book of herbs" by debaggio & arthur O. tucker. It costs about $40.00, but is loaded with herbs, names & uses in their countries. The Tom Debaggio books are very helpful. I have not looked at the male enhancement plants here. There are a few in africa & india. I have heard from customers in the west indies that the herb called"shadow bennie, recao, culantro, and 97 other names. It has a strong cilantro flavor and can be used fresh or dried. I was told it was used in salads for male enhancement. No other info.
