Just ordered some for my tubs but I'll get 2000 seed's (too many  ). If anyone wants any let me know ;D. It has a minty aroma, can be used in cooking (in small amouts) and is good as an inset/pest repellent (can be used with shampoo to treat fleas, mites & ticks on dogs). |

I don't want the seeds Floydie, but I imagine it can be used on the dogs to good effect. I just thought I will tell you that I really like the Johnson's Tea Tree Shampoo for the dogs.

I may have tried that shampoo at some point  (Ive used that many) I like Dorwest Penny Royal shampoo it leaves the dogs coats lovely and soft, smells nice and keeps any nasties away . |

Ok inbox me and I'll send some when they arrive with me . They are best grown in a pot as they do spread (unless you have an area you want them to cover). Just be careful of the amount you use if cooking/using in tea as its very strong and can be toxic if used incorrectly. (Just look up everything before you use it this way  ). |

just a word of caution, when i was pregnant the midwife said to avoid it as it can cause premature labour.
