Extractions: Planting Mint In The Garden Common Name Herbs A B C D ... Z MANY of the plants we grow such as annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees are herbs in the true sense of the word. With increased interest in recent years in continental or gourmet cooking the word "herb" is nearly always thought of by home gardeners to mean the "culinary" herb. The Herb Garden The herbs I have grown are listed below with instructions for growing them. Perhaps inexperienced gardeners as well as those who have not yet had the pleasure of growing these interesting plants will give some thought to starting a small herb garden. Even a small plot 4 by 6 feet will grow all a small family would need. If not grown for use in cooking, herbs are worth growing for pleasant aromatic foliage and some of them for the beauty of the flowers as well. Herbs can be used fresh for garnish in salads and to perk up the flavors of bland vegetables or to add flavor to meats and stews in which case one needs only to nip off a few leaves when wanted.

Extractions: Health and Fitness Relationships Astrology Spirituality ... Lifestyle Changes Services: Free Stuff Weather News Featured Books ... Shopping Herb Gardening An herb garden can be as simple as a few pots of chives, mints, and basils at the edge of a sunny patio or balcony. The important thing in to know now about herbs is that they are not very demanding and will do well in ordinary soil as long as they have good drainage and at least a half day of sun. The majority will thrive in soil that is neutral to slightly basic and not very fertile. In fact, herbs will be more aromatic and flavorful if the soil is somewhat poor in nutrients. But well drained soil is important if your soil is compacted or heavy clay. Improve drainage by adding compost, perlite, or vermiculite. Better yet, add some of each and work them into the soil to the depth of about a foot. The true mints are zesty perennials of several characteristic flavors and scents that are notorious for their usually rampant growth. They often will climb out of their appointed beds and appear in other garden areas where they may be less than welcome. They spread by roots and runners and also are able to start rootless wherever the stems touch the ground. Label them well and plant them in containers or beds that have barriers. Regular stem and root pruning will help keep mints from spreading. Don't let this invasive habit keep you from growing the mints. They are among the most flavorful herbs. Lemonade, iced teas, and the famous mint Julep would be sad potions, indeed, without mint.

Extractions: Citation no.: What is an "herb"? The term itself comes from the Latin, "herba," meaning green crops. It originally referred to virtually all plants, cultivated and wild, and especially to their green and succulent parts. Today, the term has two distinct meanings. To the botanist, an herb is a non-woody plant that dies back to the ground in winter, hence "herbaceous." Herb is also used widely to mean any plant, or part derived from it, that has or once had useful properties beyond garden ornament. At the National Herb Garden at the U.S. National Arboretum, for instance, herb is defined broadly to mean just about any plant except vegetables, grains for food or forage, or plants used only to beautify the garden.

Wormwood
Gardening site about Wormwood includes photos of interesting turn of the century antiabsinthe art, and related links.
http://www.gothic.net/~malice/wormwood.html

Extractions: ormwood can be used to denote an entire family of plants, the Artemisias, but the "true" wormwood is Artemisia absinthium . Artemisia is derived from Artemis, the Greek goddess associated with the moon, and absinthium means "without sweetness". The plant itself is easy to grow, and its silvery gray-green foliage glows in the moonlight. It's a perfect addition to the Night Garden Wormwood has had a long (and sometimes unhappy) relationship with man. The first mention of the herb is in the Ebers papyrus, a medical document dating to 1550 B.C. The Egyptians used it as a vermifuge, as did many later cultures, and the name "wormwood" may refer to this property of ridding the body of worms. The name might also be a corruption of the German "vermut", which means 'preserver of the mind'referring to its other well-known property of altering mental states. While wormwood has had useful medical applications, its symbolic association is with bitterness of spirit. An ancient legend involving another Artemis, Queen Artemis of Caria, provides perhaps the earliest correlation. When Artemis' husband, King Mausolus, disappeared, she sent searchers looking for him everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found. She assumed he was dead, and started to build a great monument to him. Although Mausolos did return, he was buried in that tomb (one of the wonders of the ancient world) and gave us the term mausoleum, and Artemis became associated with grief, bitterness, and absence (absinthe....).

Herb leaves keep their flavor best when they are stored whole and crushedjust before use. When herb seeds are to be used for cooking
http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/herbs/tips.html

Extractions: Learn more about herbs in this 3 minute video. 56K Modem Broadband The shelf life of many herbs is one to two years but this period is shorter when herbs are exposed to light, heat and open air. Herb leaves keep their flavor best when they are stored whole and crushed just before use. When herb seeds are to be used for cooking, the seeds should be stored whole and ground up as needed. To prepare plants for drying, remove blossoms from the herb plant and rinse the leaves on the stem in cold water to remove soil. Allow plants to drain on absorbent towels until dry. Then place the herbs in a paper bag and tie the stems. Leave 1 to 2 inches of the stems exposed. This allows the plant oil to flow from the stems to the leaves. Place the bag in a warm, dry location. In about one to two weeks, when the leaves become brittle, tap them free of the stems and the leaves will fall into the bag. Store leaves in an airtight container away from the light. Clean herbs as for bag drying but the heavy stalks can be discarded. Put the leafed stems one layer deep on a tray in a dark, ventilated room. Turn over the herbs occasionally for uniform drying. The leaves are ready for storage when they are dry and the stems are tough.

With increased interest in recent years in continental or gourmet cooking the word "herb" is nearly always thought of by home gardeners to mean the "culinary" herb. When we started to garden we used such herbs as creeping thyme as a low plant to grow between the flagstones of our terrace for its attractive tiny foliage and aromatic odor, and we grew the familiar parsley and mint. However, culinary herbs such as dill, basil and chives were not included in our garden plans. Interesting link Herbs The herbs I have grown are listed below with instructions for growing them. Perhaps inexperienced gardeners as well as those who have not yet had the pleasure of growing these interesting plants will give some thought to starting a small herb garden.
