Working on building the garden from a slopping mossy grass, to a leveled and colourful wild garden full of insect attracting flowers and tasty veg.

I like to make tea with honeysuckle. It tastes so sweet even though I didn't put anything else in it!

Yes. The tea is used for some small digestive disorders, but I usually drink it during colds or fevers. What also good about the flowers is that I sometimes use the tea to treat infections on the skin. It soothes it a bit. It kills the bacteria and all the other microbes irritating you.
