If you go around Skingrad you should be able to pick up vast quantities of Flax, it's one of the most common ingredients.
Then in the Great forrest there are tons of Steel Blue Entoloma mushrooms. Sometime they are trick to find since they like to grow under grasses, but they are often around trees or rocks. I usual harvest them on the road between Chorrol and Bruma. Here is a map of concentrations:

You can mix the two together for lots of restore magicka potions, and improve alchemy.
Even easier, if get get lots of food you can usually mix them together to make Restore Fatigue potions. If you don't mind stealing, you can loot some of the farms around Skingrad for lots of graqes.
EDIT:
Oh and at your character's level (Journeyman) you can also use Water Hycinthia. There is a bunch of that in various places, like near for Redman south of the Imperial City. And also use.
Or Lavender (from the island south of the Imperial City and Fly Aminita to make restore health.
Or Sacred Lotus (near Water Hycinthia) and St John's Wart near Chorrol to make bunches of damage health potions.
