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.

  • YIELD and QUALITY of the SUMMER SAVORY HERB (Satureia Hortensis L.) GROWN for a BUNCH HARVEST
    ISSN 1644-0692 www.acta.media.pl Acta Sci. Pol. Hortorum Cultus, 14(3) 2015, 141-156 YIELD AND QUALITY OF THE SUMMER SAVORY HERB (Satureia hortensis L.) GROWN FOR A BUNCH HARVEST Katarzyna Dzida1, Grażyna Zawiślak1, Renata Nurzyńska-Wierdak1, Zenia Michałojć1, Zbigniew Jarosz1, Karolina Pitura1, Katarzyna Karczmarz2 1Lublin University of Life Sciences 2The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin Abstract. The quality of fresh herbs used mainly as food products, is dependent on a number of factors, including the agronomic and environmental ones. The pharmacopoe- ial material of summer savory is the whole or ground herb, which besides essential oil, contains many other biologically active compounds, such as tannins, carotenoids, flavon- oids, and minerals. The aim of the study was to evaluate the yielding of summer savory intended for bunches harvest and mineral composition of the raw material depending on the sowing time and harvesting time. The savory seeds were sown directly into the field on two dates: 23 April and 7 May 2010–2011. The raw material was collected twice: on 1 July and 16 August. Both the first sowing date and the first harvest date affected most preferably the yield of fresh savory herb. Biological value of the ground herb was high and depended on the time of plant harvest. Significantly the greatest content of L-ascorbic acid (39.60 mg 100 g-1 FW), chlorophyll a + b (88.25 mg 100 g-1 FW), carotenoids (26.15 mg 100 g-1 FW), and essential oil (1.79 ml 100 g-1) was found at plants from the first harvest.

It was three days of garden talk, door prizes, presentations on many different topics and lots of good ‘ole fellowship and food. We all had our favorite speakers but my favorite was Carol Reese who basically said “just get out there and do it – you may change it later but get out and do it!” She was a down-home southern girl with quite the southern drawl and had a message that can cross the lines of all our gardens, landscapes and lives. We attended a session presented by Fred Spicer, Executive Director and CEO of Birmingham Botanical Gardens on “Pruning Techniques, Outcomes and Design Influences” and found his talk very informative and educational. Of course, we don’t have any shrubs to prune but found the information and pictures of his projects from beginning to end very informative.

  • SAVORY HERB GARDEN ADDITIONS Lois Sutton the Herb Society of America, South Texas Unit
    www.natureswayresources.com SAVORY HERB GARDEN ADDITIONS Lois Sutton The Herb Society of America, South Texas Unit Winter and summer savory are good additions to the late spring garden. They are culinary herbs, providing an oregano-like flavor. Like all herbs give them good drainage and a minimum of six sun-hours. Winter savory (Satureja montana) is a perennial. It looks a bit like thyme: low growing; small dark- green leathery leaves; woody stems. Winter savory's advantage over thyme is that it is more tolerant of summer heat and rains. Its flavor is more pungent than summer savory. In my garden, plant height is consistently about 12" and none have bloomed. Harvest by tip pinching or taking short cuttings. Consistent harvesting does encourage lateral stem development and a bushier plant, but changes in plant shape seem rather minimal. Buy a plant or take cuttings from a friend. Like other herbal perennials it could be planted at any time but avoid the middle of Houston's summer. Set it out on days you like to work in the garden! Summer savory (S. hortensis) is an annual. It is a short plant, like winter savory, but with soft stems and lighter green leaves. It may gift you with small insignificant blooms but I celebrate any herbal blooms! Flowers, leaves and soft stems are all edible. Harvesting frequently will keep this plant a bit more 'organized' looking - it grows quickly and even though it is a short plant, it looks leggy. Summer savory may be grown from seed. Sow with only a light soil cover as the seeds require light for germination.

  • Making a Mint with Herbs Is Not All That Difficult by James A
    Making a Mint With Herbs Is Not All That Difficult By James A. Duke Herbs are easy to grow, and increasingly easier to selL Cautious growers can supplement their incomes selling herbs, or grow a variety of herbs for home use including cooking and herb teas, or decoration. With a 6- to 7-month growing season, you can grow several perennial herbs that sell well at summer garden stands. My son made vacation spending money by selling herbs at an urban farmer's market. Thyme and chives were his biggest sellers. He started both from seed in pots and marketpacks in our small greenhouse. The chives in 4 x 6 inch peat market- packs sold for over a dollar, planted (at least 5 marketpacks) from a 35i seed package. Other herbs, including thyme, can be subdivided readily by cutting or root divisions. Chives, thyme, and other herbs are ready sellers, weekend after weekend. There is a big demand both for hanging pots and for herbs. Put the two together and you should have a money earner. Balm, corsican mint, orégano, peppermint, rosemary, savory, spearmint, and thyme have good hanging possibilities. Perennials more than annuals tend to drape themselves over the edges of pots, making them especially attractive for macramé plant hangers. Annuals like basil are less attractive to the macramé buyer, but still attractive to the adventurous cook. All can sell. Some buyers are more drawn to the decorative piece of art (pot plus plant) than to pot or plant alone. Some people will buy a hanging rosemary to look at, not to use.
