Hi Seemie

That's pretty cool, thinking we will have calendula growing together on opposite sides of the world. Calendula is a lovely healing herb - what a great omen!

I am growing calendula mainly for herbal teas, what will you do with it?

Hi Seemie

I use calendula for making calendula ointment (great for minor grazes, cuts and burns) and calendula tincture (great for cleaning up injuries). Also calendula petals are lovely in a salad or soup.
