Folklore-

Growing basil has a special significance in many cultures throughout the world. Indians swore oaths with basil leaves in court. Italian lovers would wear a piece of basil in their hair when courting ladies. The Mexicans thought it would bring back a cheating lover if you walked around carrying basil.

Medicinal use-

Growing basil can provide major health benefits. The plant contains beta carotene, naturally packed with vitamin A. Basil, is a cure-all herb that can treat many disorders and ailments from headaches to indigestion. There are so many benefits derived from basil, that it is known as the ‘King of Herbs’.

How to Grow Basil-

Growing basil can be childs-play. The seed can be sown indoors, then transplanting outside at a later date. If you lack the space for growing basil outdoors, it can be grown inside. The plant needs plenty of sun to thrive. You can use fluorescent ’grow’ bulbs if there is inadequate lighting in your home.

Sow the seed in a warm time of year, about 1″ apart. After a few leaves have grown, the basil can then be re-planted. But, always be sure the last frost has past.

Organic mulch should be added to the surface about 3” deep. Water about once a week, preferably in the morning. Do not over fertilize because this action diminishes the unique fragrance of the plant.

When re-planting, dig the herbs in at least 1 – 1 feet apart from each other, to ensure appropriate growing space. Growing basil has two main requirements: well draining soil, and a sunny, but damp area.

Basil should be pruned fortnightly to increase its hardiness. To do this, clip the leaves back, but stop ¼ inch above the node. This is to ensure enough foliage is left for growth to continue. Deadhead any flower stems to make sure the plant stays in production.

It’s a good idea when growing basil, to plant it near your tomato vines. Both of these plants require above average sunlight, and watering, so it is convenient to place them close to each other. Basil next to tomato – like bolognese sauce! Basil also acts as a natural insect repellent, either in the home kitchen, or to keep pests away from other plants.

After 6” of growth, the top leaves are ready to be clipped. This herb has been known to reach heights of up to 24 inches. Growing basil not only adds to your culinary delights, it is delightful addition in the garden.

Gardeners have contributed to the “going green” process, long before it was cool!

Thyme, sometimes named Thymus vulgaris, is a nice smelling and hardy member of the mint species. Thyme has been grown and used for many milennia. Small, aromatic flowers bloom and add a picturesque border around gardens. The taste is reminiscent of lemon combined with a hint of mint, and can be ideal for seasoning.

Instructions on Growing Thyme–

Sow the seed indoors in a sunny location at the beginning of spring. Growing thyme can be as simple as child’s play. As a matter of fact, you could even include your young ones in the gardening activities. This may even put the next generation on the right path to protecting the environment. Shortly after roots are established, it is time to bring it outside, for the real fun to begin!

When growing Thyme out-side, the plant prefers direct sunlight. Thyme is not too picky about soil requirements (I told you it was going to be easy!) and a bright, sandy bed that drains well will do fine. Growing thyme in arid, lean soil usually produces a higher fragrance and taste in the herb.

It is not very good for your body or the herbs when using toxic garden chemicals. Unknown to most, plants actually have an immune system that naturally resists pests and diseases. Make your own natural compost from kitchen waste or simply buy an organic mix.

You can use cornmeal as an insecticide. Enrich the soil with straw to take care of the population of weeds. Clipped grass and trimmings from shrubs or bushes can be used for mulching purposes.

Thyme prefers the minimum of plant food. overwatering is a danger when growing thyme. When fertilizers get flushed away, it can end up polluting our important water system.  Poisonous chemicals contaminates drinking water, and it can kill marine life. 

Using low phosphate, ozone-friendly fertilizer when growing thyme, so you will feed the plants without hurting the balance of nature.

Water at regular times while growing thyme and try to avoid saturating the soil. The number one plant killer is over watering. By saving water, you eventually save a large amount of water, and time. Be responsible and remember that Thyme does not require a lot of watering.

Growing Thyme can invite birds, insects, and other wildlife to your yard. These wildlife visitors are natures way of controlling pests.  

To maintain the best yield throughout the growing season, never let the growing thyme come to flower. Thyme harvest is around mid summer, just before flowering. You simply need to snip a few stems off for harvesting. When growing thyme from seed, allow a few before cutting them. An advantage is that Thyme can also be cut late into the winter.

Thyme’s minty tang is tasty in stews, soups and meats. Casseroles and baked vegetables has a delicately sweet taste when flavored with the herb. For a lovely dinner, try cooking salmon with a few sprigs of thyme. 

Using recycled landscape materials as apposed to purchasing new, when making plans for growing thyme in the back yard. Gardening is a worthwhile project to involve the entire family. It’s a good source of clean air, exercise, a healthy diet, and more cash in our banks!

Watercress (or Nasturtium officinale) isa part of the cabbage family. It is a vegetable noticeable because of its zesty pepper flavor.

Perhaps you haven’t heard much about growing watercress, but it is one of the oldest vegetables consumed by human beings. Known as the original super food because of all the important health advantages watercress can provide.

In 400 BC, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, was growing watercress in order to aid his subjects. Greek soldiers had to consume watercress immediately before battle in order to increase their agility. (Not by their Mothers.!) Emperors of Rome said that it helped.

Growing Watercress…

At the time of growing watercress from seeds, sow the seeds indoors around two weeks just before the last frost arrives. Lay a piece of paper towel in a small bowl , then lightly dampen it. Put a handful of the seeds on the moist towel and add about a quarter inch of standing water.

If the seeds remain damp and warm, they should hopefully start to sprout  after about seven to ten days. Three weeks after germination, the watercress will be ready for transplanting  ~outside~outdoors}.

You can plant the watercress in pots or in the ground, but you should make sure that the soil remains soggy. Use a rich mix of moist soil, limestone, and organic compost for growing watercress.

As its name implies, it thrives in water.  This perennial plant grows naturally along streams and creek beds. Naturally, the plant is partially below shallow water, the base of the plant in the water, and the top half above the water. Not to worry, you do not have to go out and buy a lake or pond to grow your watercress on.

This speedy growing plant can easily be grown inside in plant pots that are placed carefully into a tray of shallow water. Make sure to keep the plants damp constantly when growing watercress. The best technique is keeping the plants damp not soaked, as too much water can kill it. Watercress enjoys full sun, but grows faster not reach by direct sunlight. An place in partial shade is best when growing watercress.

As watercress can generally only be kept in the refrigerator for one week, leaves and stems should only be cut just before using. When growing watercress, harvest leaves and young stems before flowers bloom.

Health benefits of growing watercress—

Watercress is full of nutrients named “photochemical”, which is a group of compounds that fight cancer cells. These potent antioxidants can help to strengthen the immune system, which in turn can protect from heart disease.

Because of the large amounts of lutein found in the plant, this becomes an extra advantage of growing watercress. Lutein is well known to be helpful in stopping heart disease.

Watercress is also chocked full of vitamins. It also has a very low calorie count (only four calories per cup!). When consuming watercress, you’ll notice the peppery flavor of the leaves acting as stimuli to your digestive system.

Serving suggestions for watercress—

How about adding watercress to your next smoothie, to give it that extra kick? You can eat watercress in salads, or sandwiches. Cut watercress into little pieces and mix it with cream cheese and chives. Watercress adds taste to most types of salad.

Watercress can add a delicious flavor to soups. Slice the watercress into fine pieces and simmer it with chicken or vegetable stock. Add watercress to omelets or stir-fry.

You may have thought watercress was only the greenery on plates served in fancy restaurants. Actually, watercress is one of the main ingredients in V8 Vegetable Juice.

To sum up, it is definitely recommended to start growing watercress. Go have a try.

The name of this famous herb, ‘rosemary’ traces back to the original meaning of “dew of the sea”. Rosemary is very aesthetically pleasing, and kind to the eye. In the spring, the plant puts on a display of delicate blooms in colors from pale to dark blue. An appealing part of growing rosemary is the longevity of the plant.

Take six-inch stem cuttings and strip the leaves bare a couple of inches from the bottom. Stick these stems into a mixture of compost. Then cover up the rosemary with clear polythene, or carrier bag to keep the heat in. In order for the stems to take route, an ambient temperature of between 60° and 70° Fahrenheit.

The rosemary can be transplanted in the garden when it has rooted. in approximately eight weeks.The rosemary should be planted in direct sunlight, but is ok with slight shade.

Rosemary is not too fussy about soil condition as long as it is not waterlogged. Add sandy soil to aid your soil’s drainage system. Growing rosemary in areas that receive little rainfall is advantageous for this drought tolerant scrub.

Water only when the compost is dried out and feed once a month with liquid fertilizer from spring until fall. When growing rosemary, you catch a break from the usual thirsty plants in the garden. When is comes to harvest time, simply cut through the stem with a sharp knife.

Growing sage and using it to cook wonderful holiday meals is something your family will always remember.

Considering the cost of herbs to buy nowadays, growing your own herbs begins to make a lot of sense. An additional bonus is the enjoyment of using fresh ingredients in your meals. The savings made by growing your own produce can leave you extra time and money to re-invest back into the garden

Sage, (Salvia Officinalis) has a long history that goes back to the ancient Romans who thought growing sage imparted wisdom and improved mental clarity. Maybe that is the reason we never forget foods cooked with sage!

Growing sage–

Sage is a hardy perennial that can last up to five years. The plant originally comes from the Mediterranean, meaning it can grow well in most types of soil. Like Thyme, sage enjoys direct sunlight. Young sage needs to be watered weekly. It is better to water more often during the summer if you live in a hot climate.

Sow herb seed indoors within ten weeks of the scheduled out-doors planting. Water the seeds with warm water.

When the seeds germinate, plant the seedlings where it will receive full sun. Sage requires a temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Water until the soil becomes slightly damp.

The seedlings need a bed of well-drained soil. Add a half-cup of bone meal two times during summer while the sage is growing.

The fastest way to start growing sage is to purchase in pots from the local garden store.

Once the danger of frost has disappeared, one quick journey to the garden store, and you can begin straight away. This might take away the fun of getting your hands dirty, but it is a time saving direction to go. It’s even possible to plant the sage purchased from the store straight into the garden.

In an area that has a shallow water table, growing sage can be undertaken in raised beds or containers. Protect the plants from extreme weather conditions.

Harvest sage leaves just before the plant starts to flower. To do this, when cutting the leaves, leave around half of the foliage left on the branch.

In order to dry sage, place in an area that is well ventilated and out of direct sunlight – on a window screen. The dried leaves can be stored in jars or zip-lock storage bags.

You may notice the herb becomes “woody” when growing sage, especially after a few years.

This means it is time to start again. You can plant from cuttings or start over with seed. Growing sage will ‘self sow’ by themselves if left to flower and set seed.

Growing sage benefits–

Growing sage has numerous health benefits, the secrets of which have been handed down from generation to generation.

Sage herbal tea is a safe stimulant that is used to treat many ailments. It is also known to promote healthy gums and cleans teeth.

Headaches can vanish with the aid of a sage compress.

The use of sage tea can prevent hot flashes during menopause.

Dress the Thanksgiving turkey with aromatic sage to make the meal complete. It is even used throughout the year in poultry seasoning. The list is endless of foods that are seasoned to perfection with the addition of this tasteful herb.

Every good cook knows a kitchen is not complete without the addition of sage.

Never leave sage out to get cold!

Every family should have a try at growing sage.
