Precious medicinal herbs definitely needed to be planted, such as Polygonum multiflorum, gastrodia, ginseng, Cordyceps, and Panax notoginseng. They were of great value, whether kept for personal use or for saving people in need in the future.
As for the rest, Jing Shu planted some commonly used ones according to online tutorials, such as astragalus, Chameleon Plant, ginseng, Honeysuckle, Angelica, Motherwort, and hawthorn, among others. These common herbs could be used for minor headaches and fevers. Moreover, herbs like Panax notoginseng and Angelica could stop bleeding and reduce bruising, so she wouldn't need to resort to the Spiritual Spring for every minor external injury.
As time passed, the value of these herbs would only increase, and Jing Shu planned to exchange a small amount of them for resources that were currently unavailable.
For vegetables, Jing Shu reserved one field to plant those needed for daily consumption.
