I think that the context of the use of the word "poch" plant (v) infers that the object will be vegetable - based, so I'd feel comfortable considering sentences such as:-
I'm going to use the following at some point, as you have suggested:-
Hergh tI wIj be' - She farms medicinal vegetation
Hergh tI poch be' - She plants medicinal vegetation
but also
Hergh tI tlhab yob be' - The woman harvests wild medicinal vegetation
vutmeH tI wIj - (She) farms (vegetation for cooking) herbs (spices?)
Hergh poch - (She) plants medicine (the use of poch infers that the Hergh will be of in the form of tI)
The hallucinogenic suggestions work ok for me, too:-
najmoHmeH Hergh
vulmoHmeH Hergh
QongmoHmeH Hergh
jotmoHmeH Hergh, perhaps?
and perhaps even
tI SuQ - poisonous vegetation
though the use of any of these herbs against a warrior expecting to go into battle would be considered extremely dishonourable, naturally.
