Welcome to Gaia! ::

I had an aloe once, but I killed it... somehow. >> I lived in Florida, for heaven's sake! I put it outside and watered it once in a while, and it -still- died.

And my mint is covered in powdery mildew, even though I water it frequently (which is supposed to keep that problem down!) and now I live in Washington, so it isn't like it's -dry- this time of year! XD

There's bugbane, that's a pretty easy one to guess cool that is also known as Black Cohosh, an ancient remedy used by menopausal women, but i think it can be used for any hormonal imbalance really.
but it grows to 8 feet tall and stinks to high heaven so maybe not such a hot idea xp

here are some more sites i found anyway, maybe some will be helpful

well looking for those was educational, a lot of the sites mention the same plants, and some of them are plants not huge trees sweatdrop
a couple of other useful links in there too, for repelling pests from your pets and the plants in your garden(if you have one) 3nodding

Tansy, but it's reallly toxic so be careful.

Found out mom wont be bringing the plants down, they filled the car too full of stuff for the baby, and their stuff. xd S'ok though I'll get them on their next trip, since I can't bring them back when we fly up there for christmas. Looks like I'm going to be buying some plants now, I need to find a healthy nursery though, last one I went to had very unhealthy plants. My dad says that most lowes keep a good nursery.

Hmmm Gilve my nails another week and they should be long enough to snap off clippings.... Hmmm. See now you gave me an idea.

XD I guess I'm just lucky that most herbs grow wild around me?

If I get the new house, I'll show you pictures of the area. It's like an herbal wonderland!

That sounds like elf-speak to me, and in that case, probably. ^_^
