121. Natural Life Magazine #55 - Herb Garden - Using Wild Plants
     herb Garden The joy of growing and using herbs by Rachel McLeod Using Wild Plants. As I write this we are still in the grip of winter it is cold.

     Extractions: Using Wild Plants As I write this we are still in the grip of winter...it is cold. But I know that by the time you read this, Spring will be here and plants will be emerging from dormancy. This is the time when many people follow the examples of the pioneers before us and go out to collect wild foods and herbs as they become available. As well as those we use for meals, there is another vast amount of wild plants we may collect for medicinal uses such as yarrow flowers and red clover or, to get on-the-spot relief from bites or stings, such as plantain leaves or dock. If we are going to use wild plants as food or medication we have to be responsible for ourselves. This means that..... 1. We must be certain that we can identify a plant correctly in all stages of its growth. For example fiddleheads are the young shoots of the Ostrich fern found growing in clumps in the marsh. They are delicious and generally considered safe. But to the uninitiated the young shoots of bracken could look very much the same. However the bracken shoots grow singly and are spread out over a dry area. Bracken has been found to be carcinogenic and should not be eaten. (The Ostrich Ferns are particularly easy to recognize as they have spore bearing dark brown fronds rising out of the clump; the bracken does not.) 2. We must collect plants only where there is no danger of contamination by insecticides, fertilizers or traffic fumes. Though thorough washing of the plants is necessary, this will not always get rid of contaminants so the area where the plants are collected should be studied carefully. Watercress is a good example and it should not be collected from areas where there is danger of a runoff from farmland.

     Extractions: A simple, yet unusual garden inspired me to plant my first herb garden. It was a ladder garden made by placing an old wood ladder over a prepared plot of soil and planting each space between rungs with a different herb. The nice thing about a ladder garden, I found, is that it is neat and manageable, kind of rustic, and yet is appropriate almost anywhere. If you are a beginning herb gardener, a ladder garden is a good starter garden because it defines the area you will be working in, and relieves you of worrying too much about "garden design." (You will have enough to keep you busy without that.) Your main concerns, then, will be finding a good site, (perhaps along a driveway or deck), preparing the soil, and choosing the herbs you wish to plant. Herbs are relatively undemanding and most do best in full sun, but many herb gardens succeed on as little as six hours of sun a day. Also think about the quality of your soil. For example, clay will require some heavy duty amending to make it workable, and very acid soil (having a low pH) or very sweet soil (having a high one) may inhibit the growth of certain plants. (See Start With the Soil ) The ideal soil pH for herbs is said to be a neutral 6.5 to 7.0. but don't worry too much about it. Herbs often thrive in very inhospitable areas.

     Extractions: Full-grown herb garden You can tell that spring has sprung. The signs are all around us - milder weather, longer evenings, the science fair - ugh, did I say science fair? For those of you with children who have not yet reached the golden age where his or her entire class grade is based on a project that includes a report, three sided-poster board and something resembling an exploding volcano - just suffice it to say - that science projects strike terror in many a mom's heart. It's tough enough to fit in daily quality time with your babies - but during the science fair, that quality time is spent manufacturing a working steam engine - or creating natural dye from beets, or growing long roots from the eye on a potato. It could get worse. Your child could be the one that has a topic that the teacher has assigned to him with little or no input from you or your child. It can't be that bad - can it?

How To Plan Your Herb Garden How To Plan Your Herb Garden by Monica Resinger An herb garden can bring a person a lot of pleasure because there's so many things that can be done with herbs such as herbal crafts, herbal teas and herbal seasonings. On top of this, you get to care and tend for the plants which, if this is all you do, is enough reason to grow an herb garden. Seeing how the herbs mingle together and enjoying their fragrance are other benefits. By planning your herb garden, you will eliminate any frustration that may arise from planting an herb in the wrong area. For example, if you plant Basil in a very shady area, it will not grow as well as if it were planted in a warm, sunny area. Also, your herb garden will bring you more satisfaction if you plan which herbs you will use. The first thing to think about when planning your herb garden is location. Full sun is the best for herbs, but it has been my experience that most herbs will grow in partial shade. If your herbs are planted in partial shade, they may not grow as fast as when planted in full sun, but they will do just fine. The place to avoid is full shade, herbs simply will not do well in full shade. When you have decided on a location for your herb garden, it's time to figure out which herbs you'd like to grow. To figure this out, ask yourself why you want to grow herbs. Is it for cooking, teas, potpourri, fragrance, or a combination of all these? Whatever reason you decide you're growing herbs for will help you decide which herbs to grow. If it's for cooking, which herbs do you currently use? You could grow these, plus others that have caught your interest in the past. If it's for any of the other reasons, do some research first to find out what herbs are good for that interest. Visit the library and choose books on that subject, or search the Internet for information. Ask your herb growing friends.

And that's what members of the Herb Society of Arkansas had in mind when they created the garden for the Arkansas School for the Blind. Laurie Brown tells us more about this inspiring garden.

     Extractions: Our garden has become a special place for those in our community and for those who visit from afar. The wonder of spring is a reflection of how life renews itself. The emergence of new growth and the re-awakening of plants and the life of the garden quietly speak to us. Spring is a good time to rediscover that all humans have so much more in common than that which differentiates us. It is easy to lose sight of that basic reality and truth.

     Extractions: Having nightmares? Then place alittle thyme beneath your pillow before you go to sleep for thyme ensures a restful night's sleep! It is used in healing spells, worn aound the neck for good health, and is burned by the Greeks for purification and cleansing. It is carried by some to encourage energy and courage and to help some be able to see fairies! Okay, these are not the usual uses of thyme! It is mostly used in the culinary department, for instance: to flavor poultry, stuffing, meat and vegetable dishes, eggs dishes, and soups. The thyme for this is what is called: thymus vulgaris . Other thymes would include a lemon thyme: thymus citriodorus , which has green round leaves, and also comes in a variegated form. There is caraway thyme: Thymus Herba-Barona , which tastes similiar to caraway. There are creeping thymes which include mother-of-thyme: thymus praecox . It creeps all over which makes for a great wall crawler but does not have the flavor of the regular garden thyme. All thymes are members of the mint family. The different uses for thyme include just planting it for a low edge border, using it in flower arrangements, to cooking, to medicinal purposes, and crafts. For cooking, you can use it fresh or dried. To dry thyme, I myself lay it on a cookie sheet and place in a low temp oven for (until leaves are crumbly). I then strip the little branches and store in a lidded jar. It then can be used in cooking with fish, chicken, stuffings, marinades, and game. It can be used to flavor liquers and beef. For cosmetic uses, you can take and place thyme in your hot bath to help with stimulating circulation. You can also infuse thyme into your hair rinse by heating your hair rinse and add branches of thyme-letting it set for a few hours (or leave it in the bottle until rinse is gone). By doing this rinse infusion, you will be helping your hair be rid of dandruff. Medicinally, thyme is wonderful! The variety:
