If I could only pick 10 herbs from the essential list

Well that was a hard one but the ten I picked are the ones I use the most with the other essential herbs I grow (or want to grow)  not far behind.  So without further ado:

Comfrey
Echinacea
*Marshmallow
*Mullein
*Nettle
*Elder
*Raspberry
*Plantain
Calendula
*Yarrow

The starred herbs grow in the wild.  One thing about harvesting in the wild, make sure not to harvest plants that are growing right beside roadways since they will have all kinds of dust and toxins on them from passing cars.  Don't harvest every last plant, try to look to the future and leave plants to re-seed or grow for next year.
