The snails seem to know what plants are good for them…
Despite being well munched my fenugreek plant is holding on and has given me a beautiful flower. Well known for its culinary use but did you know fenugreek seeds have medicinal properties:
Natural source of ironStimulates milk production in mothersCan be gargled to ease sore throatsAids digestion & soothes irritation and inflammation in the gutLowers harmful cholesterol & triglyceridesRegulates blood sugar levelsReduces menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and insomnia
Fenugreek tea (known as Methi water in India) method:
1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds into a saucepan on stovePour 1 cup (240ml) of water (you can double up on seeds and water if you want a bigger batch)Bring to the boil and simmer (with lid on) for approx 5 minutes, until the water turns a pale yellow colourTake off heat and let sit for 10 - 15 minutesPour through strainer and drink or store in fridge for use later
P.S. reduce your waste by using the boiled in seeds in your cooking 
Enjoy!
