Flowers: Middle Summer
Common Uses:Borders, Container, Cut Flower, Medicinal, Ornamental, Potpourri, Repellant


Tansy's smart, yellow button flower heads in tall clusters have become popular dried flowers. Place muslin bags of dried leaves in kitchen corners to repel ants and cockroaches. (Curious conversation piece indeed!) Plant in containers, (it can spread), for the same purpose. $ 3.79

Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 1-2 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Flowers: Middle Winter
Common Uses:Borders, Butterfly, Culinary, Hedges/Shrubs, Houseplants


Talk about an identity crisis. Flowers like a marigolds (no coincidence, it is one) with narrow dark green leaves like penstemon and smells ;amp; tastes like French Tarragon. Overwintered indoors, it is a good substitute for tarragon.

Outdoors, it's easier to grow, harvest and use. Forms an upright bright green bush which makes a fine small hedge in southern climates. It drinks up the water especially in containers!!! $ 3.79

Tarragon, True French

Absolute culinary necessity! Its mild licorice flavor is found in this classic ""fines herbes"" combination and all over french cookbooks. Fresh or preserve in vinegars, ice cubes, and butters, add sparingly to white sauce, salad dressing, omelets, corn, tomatoes, and chowders. Divide every 4-5 years or when its vitality needs ""re-booting"". Grow in a tomato cage to keep upright. $ 3.79

Soil: Organic-Loamy

Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental, Shade


DELICATE in appearance but hardy in nature, you might mistake its 3-4 inch bluish green foliage for a shrunken ""Maidenhair Fern"" until the purple tufts appear in early summer. Shady, woodland is written all over this one. $ 4.79

Armeria caespitosa (A.juniperifolia)

Light: Full Sun
Water: Normal- Dry
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Borders, Garden Railroads, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental

Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Borders, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental


Blooms non-stop during any kind of cooler weather. I like the reddish pink, round flower clusters that bob above but I adore the dark, reddish purple blades in early summer for their contrast in the garden or container. Ben suggested faeries use these flowers as ballons when they go on parade. $ 4.79

Thrift, Red Faerie

Armeria caespitosa 'Bevan's'
Cold Tolerance: Zone ]4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a

Water: Dry-Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Late Spring to Middle Fall to Middle Spring to Middle Summe
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Butterfly, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental


Actually it is more of a dark pine heading toward red, but, trust me, the flowers' hue is intense. In all other respects, it is very similar to ""Faerie"". $ 4.79

Leaves are generally larger than ""Faerie Thrift"" and golden with a green stripe down the center. Even in cooler climates, you can not miss the dark pink flowers by June through Labr Day and beyond. On a miniature scale, it would be viewed as a large, mounded ornamental grass. $ 4.79

THYME


Common Uses:Tea
Why do we have so many thymes? When you've collected as many herbs as we have, some groups are bound to be your favorites. Each time we visit an herb specialty nursery, I head for thymes, knowing I'll probably find a completely new scent, leaf shape, growth habit or flower color. Most thymes are hardy for us, year after year because we nourish (compost at planting time and, ideally, annually), hold back on water, and we site them in a raised bed. They thrive in our 2 tiered (1 & 2 ft. high) bed with brick walls that provide the height and warmth. Pick any food, there is a thyme for it from savory to sweet. Medicinally, the active ingredient "thymol" is a strong disinfectant and antiviral component, so it's used heavily during the flu season. Ben & Joshua get thyme baths for coughs and it's an ingredient in their vapor rubs, adult "Listerine".

Water: Normal- Dry

Lilac flowers rarely occur on this dwarf, broad-leaved, mounding thyme but never mind. The bright yellow (cool-season) foliage is a brillant contrast to our red bricks in the landscape. Delicate lemon flavor allow it to be used in a white sauce, baked goodies, beans, corn and fish. $ 3.79

Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Bonsai, , Container, , Garden Railroads, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental, , Walk About


Pink flowers adorn this truly diminutive groundcover thyme in summer. We use it as a moss substitute in bonsais. Essential to any hypertufa container or rock garden. Spreads slowly, after many years, it ends up 18"-24" wide, eventually reaching a dizzying height of 3 inches. It mounds as though there was an elf's home underneath. Compare with ""True Elfin."" Order early! $ 3.79

This antique variety once common in the trade, was edged out after "English Wedgewood" was discovered. One of our "Wedgewoods" reverted back to a parent creating a splish-splash variegation, that holds through summer's heat. We're proud to be one of the few nurseries to re-introduce this unique and tasty plant. Puts up with shade, but flavor's always better in full sun. $ 3.79

Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 8-10in.
Water: Normal- Dry
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Culinary, , Ornamental


White flowers in spring on this narrow-leaved upright grower because it is harvested frequently. This 2 herbs in 1 plant has a natural affinity to Italian-type dishes, but don't stop there. Use scissors to harvest soft 1-2"" green tips. Save time by finely chopping all soft leaves and stems. $ 3.79

Water: Normal- Dry
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Butterfly, , Culinary, , Ornamental


Crush it. You'll smell a floral fragrance & what a grower! Looks good for months in pots. Pink flowers seldomly pop up on this narrow-leaved upright thyme. Use your imagination in pot roasts, mixed vegetables, pizza dough, rice, beans, and in or on bagels. Mark likes an occasional grilled lavender thyme steak. Brown meat on grill, then add handfuls of thyme & finish grilling. Great mustard enhancer. $ 3.79

Height: 5 inch
Water: Normal- Dry
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Culinary, Garden Railroads, Miniature/Faery Garden


Moonlight' resembles a fine needled lavender and thyme-like foliage. But to the faeries, I would imagine, it mimics a miniature blue ""Juniper"" in their world. Excellent in the railroad garden. Sharp ""English Thyme"" flavor compatible with stews and steaks. $ 3.79

Thyme, Nutmeg

Thymus sp. 'Nutmeg'

Light: Full Sun to Full Sun
Height: 5-8in.
Water: Normal- Dry
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Culinary, , Ornamental


Pink flowers on this broad-leaved thyme add an additional bonus to this culinary herb. I know we have 2 oregano thymes but this ones's flavor is milder so it leans toward the mild vegetables, viniagrettes or those of you reluctant to try thyme. $ 3.79

I confess. Occasionally I found out about Mark's new finds when I edit the catalog.

Top 10 Reasons Why We Chose Organic:


10. What else would we do with all our free time? Organic means do nothing right? Wrong!

9. "Prevention is worth a pound of cure"

8. It's fun to see confused pests jump off healthy plants, desperately seeking those deep green, crispy, HUGE, over-fertilized conventionally grown plants, which leads to....

7. We thought we'd treat plants right, echoing their natural habitats rather than just give'em a "pretty face."

6. Nature has so much to teach us if we'd only listen. For instance, pests are rarely tough on gardens with a variety of plants but they have a field day in acres of mono-cropping. Perhaps humankind would take note of the benefits of diversity.

5. Since money doesn't grow on (lemon verbena) trees, we choose to place our dollars in small businesses who offer alternative & earth friendly inputs, when possible, rather than the vaults of multi-national fertilizer and pesticide giants.

4. Who wants to eat herbs sprayed with pesticides when composted chicken manure taste so much better.

3. And there's nothing that compares to walking into a greenhouse, freshly sprayed with seaweed.

2. We live and play here

TUSCAN POLENTA LASAGNA


16 pieces
Prepare roasted garlic, pesto and ragu sauce in advance
ROASTED GARLIC
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut HEAVY-DUTY foil (or 2 sheets of regular foil) into 12” squares, enough for 1 per garlic bulb. Horizontally cut each garlic bulb off at the top, exposing just the tips of the cloves. Drizzle olive oil over each bulb. Sprinkle each with a pinch of salt & fresh ground pepper. Add a sprig of thyme and/or oregano and wrap each clove with the foil. Place in a small, 1-2” rimmed pan and bake about 40 minutes. Check for softness. The clove, when squeezed, spews out a rich, creamy, sweet garlic flavor.
PESTO
1-1/2 c. fresh basil leaves, loosely packed2 T. pine nuts
1/2 c. fresh italian parsley, mincedabout 1/2 c. good olive oil
2 T. fresh oregano, mincedsalt
2 cloves of garlicfresh ground pepper
2 T. walnuts, chopped1/2 c. parmesan & asiago cheeses, freshly grated
Combine all ingredients, but cheeses in a food processor and puree until smooth, but you can still see the leaves. Scrape out and into a bowl. Stir in the cheeses. (You can freeze the extra pesto in ice cube tray for more winter use.
RAGU
This is how to prepare “Odori,” the aromatic Italian trinity with herbs:
finely chop 2 carrots, 2 stalks of celery, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic & a handful of parsley. Saute in 2 T. olive oil ‘til golden
1# ground beef1-2 c. white or Chianti wine
!# ground pork2 T. tomato paste
4 Italian Sausagesup to 64 ou. diced Italian style tomatoes
salt, pepper and dried thyme to taste
Prepare the “odori” in a heavy pot with a lid. Add the ground beef, pork, and sausages until browned. Add salt, pepper, thyme and a cup of wine. After the wine has evaporated, add the tomato paste and diced tomatos. Cover and simmer on VERY low heat for 3 hours, stirring now and then.
NOW THAT ALL THAT IS PREPARED, YOU ARE READY TO ASSEMBLE THE POLENTA LASAGNA
BEGIN POLENTA LASAGNA RECIPE:
3-4 T. olive oil
approximately 1# polenta (a.k.a. “corn mush” next to “Pillsbury Dinner Rolls in the refrigerated cases)
2 T. fresh thyme, minced1/2 c. roasted garlic cloves or more
2 T. fresh basil, minced1 c. pesto
2 T. fresh parsley, minced4 medium Roma tomatoes, sliced
1# mozzarella, sliced into 16 slices3 c. Ragu
1/2 c. kalamata olives, pitted & halved
Heat oil on medium heat in a large, heavy pan. Slice polenta to about 1/4” thick and brown both sides in pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13” pan and place a layer of lightly browned polenta on bottom. Add half the herbs and mozzarella slices. Evenly distribute the olives & roasted garlic cloves that have been “squirted” out of their “husks.” Layer the remaining polenta slices & herbs and spread with pesto. Top with what’s left of the mozzarella slices and sliced tomatoes.
Bake for 30 minutes to heat throughout. Remove from the oven and cut into squares. For an elegant presentation, serve each square on a plate covered with a 1/2 c. of heated Ragu Sauce.
