Hello everyone, Well with summer almost over for another year I thought I would show you what the garden looks like now. It has a faded beauty now but if you don't look too close it still looks pretty good I think. It is the hydrangeas that are giving me the enjoyment now but the phlox is still adding color. The virginia creeper will soon turn red and then lose it's leaves for another year. The virginia creeper on the house has run a bit rampant but still I love it. We have had a lot of rain in the past few weeks so the grass is lush and green again. The Gardener's Cottage Our pond. A cute little bumble bee in our garden. And here's looking at you!!! Oh,Noah you make me laugh. I am joining My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Friday. Thank you for visiting, Carolyn

Artemisia vulgare Artemisia vulgare - NL: Bijvoet - F: Armoise Mugwort is a powerful medicinal plant, that has been traditionally used for thousand of years. In China it is commonly used even as food and to make moxabustion - an important part of the Chinese Traditional healing methods. Its most famous healing properties are related to troubles in the digestive tract, strengthening the stomach, and as a general tonic of the women’s reproductive system, relieving menstrual cramps and helping to balance the hormonal cycle. Besides, it also works well as expectorant, tonic of the nervous system, antispasmodic (it can be used to help in treatment of ashtma), antihelmintic and antiseptic. The leaves have been studied for their antibacterial action, being effective against several harmful bacteria. It works as insect repellent, also in the garden. For that a diluted tea obtained by infusion of the aerial parts is enough to used as spray. The fluffy down-looking thing that grows around the leaves can be harvested and kept in a first aid emergency kit to help light up fires. It relieves sore feet just by placing the leaves inside the shoes. It works stimulating the uterus, so this plant must be, at all times, avoided during pregnancy. Here's a nice video where Lieve Galle, from Wildfoodforager.com explains how to recognize Mugwort: video (2:05 min): What bitter plants can do for your health
