I hope you don't mean digging up Bob. I don't know what type of tree Bob is. Perhaps you mean the spawn of Bob. Maybe the next time he blooms we can collect a Bob seed. That would be fun.
A wonderful discussion with Redmyth led to a few new plants, including some herbs.
tomato
potato
eggplant
onion
cabbage
blueberry
fig
peach
plum
lavendar
chamomile

Yes rumi that conversation certainly got me thinking about the wonderful healing properties herbs have....
Calendula (French marigold) = Antiseptic
Ivy & Thyme = Expectorants
Lungwort = Coughs but also gastrointestinal and kidney problems.
Lavender = Burns, also aids sleep
Valerian = Herbal sedative.
Milk thistle = Liver tonic
Red clover = Menopausal symptoms
Clary sage = Antiseptic, carminative and astringent plus aids PMS
Garlic = Heart disease
The list goes on and on and its not just herbs, healing properties can be found in many trees, shrubs and vegetable.
