A patch of chives delights all of the senses. The sight, smell, touch, and taste of chives even the sound of the hollow stems popping open when snapped in half, all are full of intense energy. Soft spines return vividly early in spring. Soon after, delicate buds form, their pale hoods veiling the soon-to-be orbs of dense purple spikes that burst open like supernovas. Edible, ornamental, and perennial, these hardy culinary clusters are an easy and essential part of every kitchen garden. The smallest of all the Alliums, chives are considered by some to be the only species of Allium native to both the Old World and the New. The sulfur smell of the plant is said to repel garden insect pests while the flowers attract beneficial pollinators. This clumping onion survives winter in the Northeast and often blooms in early May. The green shoots are the first to come up in the spring, and can be used in warm winter tonic to ward off cool days. Be sure to let your chives flower though; they are a wonderful, oniony edible flower.

Truly a game-changing plant First Italian sweet basil that is resistant to downy mildew Produces a higher yield of usable, deliciously aromatic leaves Basil in itself is an incredible plant, but Amazel Basil has features that have them all beat! It’s three main attributes are being an edible herb, heat tolerant and unlike other basil, it is resistant to the dreadful downy mold that most basil is highly susceptible to. The pointed, dark green, fragrant foliage is prevalent in spring, summer and fall…producing all summer long. Often harvesting can last until the first frost. This variety focuses more on production of leaves where other types of basil are more concerned with seed production. If a flower happens to bloom, trim it off for additional foliage growth. The more you harvest this plant, the more it grows and the better flavor it will produce. It is ready to harvest and enjoy within just a few weeks after it takes up residence in its newly transplanted home. For best results and taste, collect your crop in the mornings while the leaves are still moist. Amazel Basil Care & Growing Information Amazel Basil Is the best grown in a landscape scenario but also works well in a large container. It also works beautifully as a border. With its upright growth characteristic, it is considered a thriller in the “spiller, thriller, filler“ scenario.The Amazel Basil is very heat tolerant with its preferences being full sun for six or more hours, partial sun for four to six hours and full shade for up to four hours. That is obviously a very tight schedule to follow so consider it as more of a basic guideline. The six hours in the sun is the most crucial factor. Keep the soil moisture moderate with average watering. The soil should be a neutral pH balance while adding rich compost when first planting. Soil that is too rich may result in a loss of flavor. The mature plant will reach its full size in approximately 4-6 weeks which will be 2 to 3 feet high and 1 to 2 feet wide. Plant spacing should be 12 -18 inches to allow for a spread of a minimum of 1 to 2 feet. Maintenance is low with extremely high rewards. This plant will be a favorite as it is delicious in pasta, rice, fish, poultry, veggies or in dressings and salads. This incredible plant undoubtedly lives up to its name…Amazel Basil! It is truly amazing!

This popular herb can be frustrating to grow in the warmer regions due to its tendency to bolt in hot weather. "Leisure" is an heirloom variety that is slower to bolt, staying in leaf longer into summer's heat. A must for hot weather regions. High yielding - producing large, flavorful leaves. Also called Chinese Parsley, Cilantro has a thousand uses in the kitchen. Nearly every part of this herb has a culinary use; in Thai cuisine, the roots flavor spicy sauces, while the cilantro leaves season and garnish Chinese, Vietnamese, and Mexican dishes. The coriander seed is used in candy, specialty breads, sauces, desserts, and even perfumes. In Tudor England, coriander seeds coated with sugar were known as "comfits" and became a popular treat. The coriander plant, whose leaves are known as cilantro, is native to the Mediterranean and Middle Easter countries; it is believed to be one of the earliest spices used by man. Early physicians such as Hippocrates used coriander primarily as an aromatic stimulant or to disguise the taste of unsavory medicines. ~ germination ~ Though coriander thrives in rich, well drained soil and full sun, it will tolerate some shade. Gardeners in warm climates may have the best success with coriander by planting it at any time from September through February, since it is a cool weather plant. It can also be planted as soon as possible in the spring, or after the heat of summer as a fall crop. Since this herb does not take transplanting well, direct sow the seeds 1/2" deep in rows 18-20" apart; thin the seedlings to 12" apart as soon as they develop leaves. Germination usually takes 2-3 weeks. For a continuous harvest, plant a new crop every 2-3 weeks. ~ planting ~ When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks before average last frost. Successive sowing every 3 weeks until 4 weeks before first fall frost. Zone 8 and warmer, sow in fall for winter harvest. When to start inside: Not recommended; does not transplant well. Special germination instructions: Seed requires darkness to germinate. Sow at recommended depth of 1⁄2". ~ harvesting ~ Foliage can be harvested anytime. Seeds should be harvested after they begin to turn brown and when the outer coat cracks, but before they drop off the plant and scatter. Cut stem and place in a brown paper sack to collect the seeds. Rubbing the seeds will cause the outer shell to drop off.

The Vision of an Edible Forest Garden: "Picture yourself in a forest where almost everything around you is food. Mature and maturing fruit and nut trees form an open canopy. If you look carefully, you can see fruits swelling on many branches—pears, apples, persimmons, pecans, and chestnuts. Shrubs fill the gaps in the canopy. They bear raspberries, blueberries, currants, hazelnuts, and other lesser-known fruits, flowers, and nuts at different times of the year. Assorted native wildflowers, wild edibles, herbs, and perennial vegetables thickly cover the ground. You use many of these plants for food or medicine. Some attract beneficial insects, birds, and butterflies. Others act as soil builders, or simply help keep out weeds. Here and there vines climb on trees, shrubs, or arbors with fruit hanging through the foliage—hardy kiwis, grapes, and passionflower fruits. In sunnier glades large stands of Jerusalem artichokes grow together with groundnut vines. These plants support one another as they store energy in their roots for later harvest and winter storage. Their bright yellow and deep violet flowers enjoy the radiant warmth from the sky. This is an edible forest garden." What is an Edible Forest Garden: "Edible forest gardening is the art and science of putting plants together in woodlandlike patterns that forge mutually beneficial relationships, creating a garden ecosystem that is more than the sum of its parts. You can grow fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, other useful plants, and animals in a way that mimics natural ecosystems. You can create a beautiful, diverse, high-yield garden. If designed with care and deep understanding of ecosystem function, you can also design a garden that is largely self-maintaining. In many of the world's temperate-climate regions, your garden would soon start reverting to forest if you were to stop managing it. We humans work hard to hold back succession—mowing, weeding, plowing, and spraying. If the successional process were the wind, we would be constantly motoring against it. Why not put up a sail and glide along with the land's natural tendency to grow trees? By mimicking the structure and function of forest ecosystems we can gain a number of benefits." Dave Jacke (author of Edible Forest Gardens)http://www.edibleforestgardens.com/about_gardening In any person's interest in an activity or hobby or vocation, there is usally that one "hook" that captures their attention and is the one main area of passion in that interest. The idea of a forest garden is the "hook" of Permaculture to me. Forest gardening was one of the first exposures I had to Permaculture, and it has still been a bit of an obsession to me. I love the entire idea of it. Recreating a sustainable Garden of Eden is a goal of mine on which I cannot wait to begin.
