Just moved into a lovely 2 acre smallholding, kids, chickens, horses, dogs and rabbits think it's bliss, but the garden is hard work! We're rotivating a decent size patch for veg, I'm a florist so I'm trying to grow all manner of flowers in the greenhouse, and and I keep discovering this little plant around the place, which at first I thought was some type of chrysanth, but my mom thinks it's Chamomile. Before I boil up the leaves for tea and poison us all, can anyone tell me what it is? Google searches just confused us more, because apparently there are Roman and German types and I couldn't find anything with leaves that looked like mine, though the flowers did.
One Horse, One Pony, Seven Hens, One cockerel, One Duck, Three Rabbits, and Three Dogs. So far....
Aaah thank you!!! Should have heard my mom when I read the replies!! "AAAAH FEVERFEW!!" LOL! Just off to research how to use it :) there's tons of it here, that and mint, and hypericum, and fig trees, and other very random things!

Good link by the way - might not be using it after reading about the mouth ulcers and other side effects Not sure whether to use it... Has anyone else used it?

Stef I didn't know that about the fly repellant, have been thinking about making a homemade one for the horses, flies really bothering them at the moment, fly-rugs and masks on all the time :(
