| Mallow |
Here is a bit of information found : Mallow is used for irritation of the mouth and throat, dry cough, constipation, and other uses...Super interesting!. Wondering if could be used to treat Covid-19.
Mallow also has an external effect on insect bites and minor skin injuries: Rub a few mallow flowers between your fingers and place them on the affected skin area.
July is the perfect growing month for petunias.
I’m sharing my petunias that they’ll look beautiful all summer long! No plant fills a container or bed with great colors faster than petunias. They produce an abundance of gorgeous blooms from early spring until a frosty fall day finishes their growing season. Keeping petunias in bloom mode is simply a matter of pruning and regular deadheading to encourage more growth.
Show me yours!💗
