The things in nature that still cause me to be amazed every time I consider them are extraordinary herb garden plants.
Creation in itself is amazing. We only have to look at nature to know that this earth was created by design and not evolution. How can chance (evolution) have happened in such an organized and pre-programmed fashion so that everything in nature happens and fit together like they do? Evolution is like throwing a bunch of pencils onto the ground and expecting them to somehow get reorganised into a tidy bunch again, by themselves!
Again it's like putting a dish of primordial soup made up of a ground up frog (so that it contains all the essential elements for a frog to "be") on the windowsill and expect it to turn into a frog one day. That will not happen in a billion years,

There's probably a lot more about herb garden plants that I cannot think of now or plainly do not know about. Herb garden plants are quite simply incredible.
To illustrate the amazing qualities of herb garden plants I list below some examples.
Basil
Basil is a vegetable, a culinary herb, a spice when dried, medicine for nausea, coughs and colds and it makes a mean cup of refreshing tea that will invigorate and recharge your senses and well being. Its scent is a major contribution to any aromatic herb garden and basil effectively plays all these parts in one herb plant.
Chamomile
Chamomile tea is best known for its calming and relaxing abilities that bring welcome relief to sometimes desperate sufferers of insomnia and persistent nightmares. It soothes not only the mind and body but also sore throats and menstrual cramps.
It is far healthier and more effective to drink a hot cup of chamomile tea just before going to bed than to take a dose of sleeping tablets that will leave one's head feeling heavy and unwell before finally going to sleep, if at all.
Fennel
Fennel tastes great eaten raw or cooked but it is worth its weight in gold for its remarkable ability to bring relief to a baby suffering from gastric and tummy ailments. We know as adults how physically distressing these problems are but what an anguish it is when a baby suffers from them.
A regular drink of fennel tea can provide relief for baby's tummy problems and also help baby's stomach to digest food more efficiently. Mother too can benefit from an improvement in her milk producing ability.
If you are pregnant, maybe it's time to grow your own herb garden plants and specifically fennel. It does not have to be hard work. You can do it with a mini garden of any size, which will reduce the amount of maintenance required, proportionally. It can be as small as your windowsill with just three pots of plants.
