Re: Verbascum

[Guest guest]

Hi Sally,

would love to get my hands on some oil actually, but don't have the space to

grow the beast and don't want to order 1/2l of the stuff!  I'll have to see if

I can find some verbascum growing wild somewhere in east london - what do you

think of my chances?! lol

cheers,

g.
