Turtlehead (Chelone glabra and Chelone lyonii) are native perennials to the Eastern seaboard of the United States. The common name describes the interesting flower shape, which resembles that of a turtle’s beak. They are hardy to USDA Zones 3 to 8. Turtlehead prefer moist, rich soils in full sun to part shade. They need minimal care, but appreciate an occasional top-dressing with leaf compost. You can also pinch them back in the late spring if the growth is too tall and leggy. The plants spread slowly by rhizomes and eventually form large clumps. You can propagate them by division, cuttings, or seed. Chelone glabra has white flowers, sometimes with a pink tinge. It blooms from August through October. Chelone glabra is a larval host and/or nectar source for the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas phaeton). Chelone lyonii has pink flowers and is in bloom a bit earlier in the season than Chelone glabra. A popular cultivar of Chelone lyonii is ‘Hot Lips’, which is a deeper pink flower than the straight species with bronze-green foliage and red stems.

This isn't my recipe - it's from Shurtleff and Aoyagi's Book of Tofu, which is just about the only book you need if you're interested in soy DIY. While this is yummy, and a good and basic faux meat, I'm not an "I can't believe it's not sausage!" kind of person, and I think it's best if we learn to appreciate these kinds of recipes for what they really are, rather than what they're trying to be. Serve fried soysage as part of your breakfast fry up, or in a muffin, biscuit, or burger bun. You can also form the mixture into sausage shapes, wrap in baking parchment and foil, steam until set, and serve like hot dogs with all the trimmings. Don't forget the ketchup and mustard! Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups okara 3/4 cup wholemeal flour 2 tbsp. Maggi seasoning or soy sauce 1 tsp. mustard 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. oregano 1 clove garlic, minced dash pepper 1-5 tbsp. milk (dairy or soy) or water Method: 1. Preheat oven to 180oC. Combine all ingredients except milk or water, until well mixed. Add just enough liquid to make a medium-firm dough. 2. Oil the inside of a cylindrical mould (a nut loaf tin is good for this) and pack mixture in. Cover with foil. Place in baking pan and pour in enough water to come 2.5cm up the side of the pan. Bake for 30 min. 3. Allow mixture to cool in moulds, then shake out. Cut into slices and fry like sausage.

This trio of Philodendrons has been the topic of many conversations and debates as they are often mislabelled and missold as one another.

It's time for another update on my espalier fig. I planted a young Celeste fig in the ground at the corner of my garden shed about 18 months...

Probably taken early May: Aethionema grandiflorum in bloom at top, and gorgeous foliage on Salvia cyanescens below. I believe Lauren Springer Ogden coined the term "hell strip" (it goes by many gentler synonyms like "parking strip", and she created a firestorm of controversy if I recall by writing about them in Horticulture several decades ago. Meanwhile, my life partner, Jan Fahs, purchased a home with the most hellish of hellstrips--nearly 200' of black plastic hell which she was modestly peeling back and gently planting until I came along. Then one day (which she continues to rue) I tore out the rest of the black plastic, and we began planting and sowing seed in earnest. These pictures don't really do it justice. There are two or three things to keep in mind: out of a million or more houses and buildings in Denver, this is one of the few that is deliberately unwatered. That is to say, only two or three that are GARDENS that are unwatered (lots of derelict lots with weeds of course). Item two: it is always changing through the year, from year to year. These are just two glimpses. I am perpetually amazed at how well bearded iris do here--unwatered! Here they are blooming with Penstemon eatonii...late May. I have forgotten what the pale blue penstemon is: P. cyananthus perhaps? And yes, bachelor's buttons are almost weedy. A better look at the penstemon. Lychnis coronaria budding up to bloom at left. I rather like the mix of colors on the Centaurea cyanus. Another view in May... And yet another... Probably just a form of Iris pallida...awfully delicate, however. This was THE year for iris. This picture is more likely to be June, Verbascum have joined the irises (which seemed to go on forever this year...) Another angle... Mulleins look great with Penstemon eatonii--and I have to admit that the Dianthus deltoides is in part shade--it doesn't take the drought in full sun. Please ignore the bindweed (I did spray it later). My favorite Turkish salvias are kicking in (the lavender in back--will detail them next)--but notice how happy the Onosma echioides is in the front (Lady's eardrops). Of course in Greece it has six months of drought! Salvia cyanescens coming into bloom in front, Salvia recognita behind--two Anatolian salvias introduced by Jim and Jenny Archibald. I love these so much! Gorgeous foliage, wonderful aroma and good all year long. And boy! do they love this garden! Slightly different angle--this one showing the Sedum rupestre 'Angelina' better...I should plant more of that! It looks good with the blues. Salvia cyanescens with bachelor's buttons.. Salvia recognita (left) with a medley of meadow flowers...aaaaah! Lallemantia canescens--another wonderful Anatolian mint introduced by Jim and Jenny Archibald. This is perennial when stressed, biennial or even annual on rich soils. Blooms on and off all summer depending on rains--one of the great plants (Plant Select ought to have noticed--oh well! They can't have all the good stuff!)... Almost looks like a lupine! A better view of Salvia recognita--a work horse if there ever was one--I have almost 70' of this planted on an unwatered strip in my Quince garden--and could use more! Three wonderful Salvias: recognita on upper left, S. cyanescens front center, and S. x superba on the right. One of a handful of Achillea in the garden--a taygetea type...and of course the Linum perenne--of which there are a million--has shed its petals for the day. Somewhere I have a lot of pictures of the garden in late June when Dianthus giganteus takes over (here just starting to bloom), but you've had a taste!...I end with a shot I found on Google Maps--Jan's garden was photographed at peak bloom for salvias--I've never caught it in quite the right light at peak bloom: thank you Google! And thank you for reading to the bottom!

Adiantum maidenhair ferns are fluffy and elegant. We sometimes see them in the forest and, while they’re not always easy to grow at home, it’s worth the time and effort to try.
