We are in USDA Hardiness Zone 9 (minimum expected winter temperature of 20°), and AHS Heat Zone 8 (91-120 days > 86°). Plants in brown are annuals or biennials. 1 Planting Time Outdoors is for transplants/plants (T) or seeds (S). Timing assumes that the average last frost date for the year is Mar 15 and average first frost date is Dec 3. 2 Heat Tolerant - able to grow in North Florida summer temperatures and humidity. 3 Min. Temp F° - the minimum temperature a plant can experience and survive. Damage, die back (plants resprout in the spring) and reduced harvest for the season may occur at warmer temperatures. Variations can be caused by several factors such as age of plant, length of cold, root establishment and type of cultivar. 4 Water needs - as with all plantings, this is the moisture recommendation after establishment. 5 Square Foot Gardening technique. 6Although the seeds of most plants don’t need light to germinate, those of many of the herbs do. When an entry lists “Surface”, the seeds are to be scattered on potting soil in a container or on prepared garden soil, and lightly pressed against the soil (good contact improves moisture retention). If outdoors, they should be lightly dusted with a very fine cover of soil or vermiculite to protect the seed. Indoors, no cover is needed. The goal is to shield the seed from drying out but allow exposure to light. Use a fine mist spray to keep moist until germination. If only a vegetative option is listed, either seed may not be produced, is sterile or has very low viability, seed produced plants wouldn’t have desired qualities of the parent, or vegetative propagation is much easier. 7 Rotate plant families. Avoid successively planting herbs from the same family in the same area of the garden. Although often available as plants, culantro, nasturtium, parsley, dill, borage, cilantro, chervil, and fennel are more typically grown from seed because they can be difficult to transplant. If not grown in a biodegradable pot, use care when transplanting these. How to fertilize: In general, herbs should be fertilized moderately to avoid stimulating lush growth that is less flavorful. Fertilize at half recommended amount when you do fertilize, if herbs are in garden soil. Container grown plants may need more fertilizer.

  • Influence of Drying Temperatures on Essential Oil Content in Savory Satureja Montana L
    Influence of drying temperatures on essential oil content in savory Satureja montana L. (Lamiaceae ) Slavica Dudaš Polytechnic of Rijeka, Agricultural Department, Poreč, Croatia, [email protected] Petar Šegon Polytechnic of Rijeka, Agricultural Department, Poreč, Croatia Renata Erhatić College of Agriculture at Križevci, Croatia, [email protected] Vesna Kovačević Polytechnic of Rijeka, Agricultural Department, Poreč, Croatia, [email protected] Abstract Aromatic and medicinal plants like savory which produce essential oil and other active components are used in medicine and food processing industry as flavor, spice etc. On the market savory is present as dried herb, leaf drug, essential oil, extracts etc. Essential oil glands and trichomes of savory are located on the surface of stems, leaves and calyces, accordingly drying and processing of savory have huge influence on essential oil content in savory drugs. A research on wild growing savory from the Istrian peninsula was carried out at Polytechnic of Rijeka, Agricultural Department in Poreč. Drying kinetics and influence of drying temperatures (35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60°C) were investigated on selected parameters of savory collected in winter 2012, in the area of Rovinjsko selo in Istria, Croatia. The percentage of dried leaves in fresh herb, essential oil content and proportion of dried leaves in fresh and dried herb were defined. The average of initial water content was 80,06 %, essential oil content 0,776 ml100g -1 and the proportion of dried leaves was 50,56 % in the dried herb. Higher drying temperatures expectedly reduced the essential oil content. The reduction of essential oil content 425 at 45°C was 14,8 %, while further temperature increase to 50°C resulted with a 59,4 % lower content of essential oil in the drug.

  • Greek White Bean Soup with Feta and Dill © Janet Fletcher / Planet Cheese
    Greek White Bean Soup with Feta and Dill © Janet Fletcher / Planet Cheese www.janetfletcher.com Feel free to improvise here. Add chopped fresh fennel, zucchini, sweet red peppers, butternut squash, potatoes or chard. Ingredients • 2 cups dried white beans, chickpeas or cranberry beans • 1 large celery rib, in 3 pieces • ½ yellow onion, halved again through the root end • 2 bay leaves • Sea salt • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish • 2 cups sliced leeks, white and pale green part only • 2 medium carrots, diced • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish • Freshly ground black pepper • Pickled Greek pepperoncini, sliced • 2 ounces feta Directions Soak the dried beans overnight in cold water to cover generously. Drain and place in a heavy pot with 1-1/2 quarts water. Add celery, onion, bay leaves and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the beans are tender, 1 hour or more. Check occasionally to make sure they are still submerged in liquid; add boiling water if necessary to keep them barely covered. When the beans are done, let them cool in their liquid. Discard the celery, onion and bay leaves. Set aside 1 cup of whole beans. In a food processor or blender, puree the remaining beans with enough of the cooking liquid to achieve the texture you like. (I like my soup on the thin side.) Warm the olive oil in a clean pot over medium heat.

  • Chervil (Pronounced SHER-Vil) Is a Delicate Culinary Herb Used Frequently in French Cuisine
    PO Box 218, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 Phone: 650 726 4980 - Fax: 650 726 2991 Email: [email protected] To Grow a great Garden, Start With Amazing Seeds Chervil (pronounced SHER-vil) is a delicate culinary herb used frequently in French cuisine. It is a member of the parsley family with a mild flavor. This spring herb is often used in egg dishes. It is sometimes called French parsley. Chervil takes like a delicate cross between tarragon and parsley. Chervil has a mild flavor with hints of licorice or anise, but without those flavors coming through strongly. Chervil leaves are delicate and curly, somewhat resembling carrot greens. They are a little paler and have frillier leaves than flat-leaf parsley. Some bunches have tightly-closed leaves. You may find bunches that have blossoms, but you should avoid those because the herb will have turned bitter. Uses for Chervil…..Because of its delicate flavor, chervil is usually included in recipes, such as salads and soups It is added at the last minute as the flavor won't hold up in prolonged cooking; a good addition to omelets and is commonly used in making a classic Béarnaise sauce. It is included in the fines herbs blend, which is used in French cooking on poultry, egg dishes, and in salads. If you have chervil available, you might want to use it in herb infused oil, herb butter, or herb pesto to use with fish, poultry, eggs, soups, or salads. For example, use it in a recipe for roasted cod with wine and herb butter.

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the isolated oils resulted in the identification of twenty compounds in the oil of S. montana representing 97% of the total oil and 25 compounds of S. cuneifolia, representing 80% of the total oil. Carvacrol was the major constituent of the S. montana oil (45.7%). Other important compounds were the monoterpenic hydrocar- bons p-cymene, g-terpinene and the oxygenated compounds carvacrol methyl ether, borneol and thymol. Conversely, the oil of S. cuneifolia contained a low percentage of carvacrol and thymol. The major constituents of wild savory oil were sesquiterpenes b-cubebene (8.7%), spathulenol, b-caryophyllene, followed by the monoterpenic hydro- carbons limonene and a-pinene. The screening of the antimicrobial activities of essential oils were individually evalated against nine microorganisms, using a disc diffusion metod. The oil of S. montana exhibited greater antimicrobial activity than the oil of wild savory. Maximum activity of winter savory oil was observed against Escherichia coli, the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and against yeast (Candida albicans).

    The Herb Society of America's Essential Guide to Savory 2015 Herb of the Year 1 Introduction As with previous publications of The Herb Society of America's Essential Guides we have developed The Herb Society of America's Essential The Herb Society Guide to Savory in order to promote the knowledge, of America is use, and delight of herbs - the Society's mission. We hope that this guide will be a starting point for studies dedicated to the of savory and that you will develop an understanding and appreciation of what we, the editors, deem to be an knowledge, use underutilized herb in our modern times. and delight of In starting to put this guide together we first had to ask ourselves what it would cover. Unlike dill, herbs through horseradish, or rosemary, savory is not one distinct species. It is a general term that covers mainly the educational genus Satureja, but as time and botanists have fractured the many plants that have been called programs, savories, the title now refers to multiple genera. As research and some of the most important savories still belong to the genus Satureja our main focus will be on those plants, sharing the but we will also include some of their close cousins. The more the merrier! experience of its Savories are very historical plants and have long been utilized in their native regions of southern members with the Europe, western Asia, and parts of North America. It community. is our hope that all members of The Herb Society of America who don't already grow and use savories will grow at least one of them in the year 2015 and try cooking with it.
