  • Verbena Bonariensis
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 16 July 2004 Verbena bonariensis Clusters of small purple fl owers fl oating on long, airy stems tempting passing butterfl ies to stop for a sip is just one reason to consider adding Verbena bonairiensis, also called tall verbena or purpletop verbena, to your garden. This plant is just one of about 250 species in the genus Verbena, of which only about half a dozen are in cultivation. V. bonairiensis is native to Brazil and Ar- gentina (the specifi c name is after Buenos Aires). They were fi rst grown as a garden ornamental in 1726 by Englishmen James & William Sherard, who got the seeds from a dried specimen sent back to England from Buenos Aires. This plant is perennial in zones 7 to11 and is grown as an annual in cooler climates. It is considered a weed in many mild climates, such as California, Texas, Australia and southern Africa, where it has naturalized. Verbena bonariensis is a tall, airy plant. Purpletop verbena is an upright, clump-form- ing plant with wiry, widely branched stems. It reaches a height of 3 to 6 feet and spreads 1 to 3 feet. Unlike many other tall herbaceous plants it is unlikely to tip over. The stiff stems and branches are square and rough, like sand paper. The deep green, lance-shaped serrat- ed leaves form a mounded rosette at the base of the plant, with few on the stems. The fl ow- ers are borne in rounded clusters 2 to 3 inches across.

Of course, Brassica greens Cabbage & Onion Maggot in general are generally cold-hardy.

This is a valuable harvest window for diversi- fied growers who need early spring revenue. Often, overwintered greens bolt rapidly and become unmarketable before spring-plant- ed crops are ready. The seed we are working with was first selected by farmers Brett Grosgahl (Even’star Farm, MD), Brian O’Hara (Tobacco Road Farm , CT) and Dan Pratt (Astarte Farm, MA) over many seasons to survive extended cold periods with minimal protection from winter conditions. UMass has planted this seed for three winters at our research farm in South Deerfield, MA. We have selected for cold-hardiness, late bolting and good spring regrowth. We have three species of cold-hardy greens including a mix of red and green mustard (Brassica juncea), a mustard tatsoi mix (‘MTM’) cross (Brassica rapa), and Siberian Kale (B.

  • Harvesting Herbs
    222 N Havana Spokane WA 99202 (509) 477-2181 e-mail: [email protected] http://extension.wsu.edu/spokane/master-gardener-program/home-lawn-and-garden/ C159 HARVESTING HERBS Herb plants (the ‘h’ is pronounced in England, generally silent in America) are flowering plants whose above-ground stems do not become woody. The plants commonly referred to as ‘herbs’ are valued for their medicinal, decorative properties, culinary flavors, and aromatic scents. When you look at the entire spectrum of herbs available, different parts of individual plants - leaves, flowers, seeds and roots – can be used for different purposes: Plant leaves or foliage are commonly used for flavoring food. Many seeds have highly individual flavors. Some stems are important for flavoring. Flowers tend to be used for dyes and perfumes. Roots are used as vegetables or as medicinal constituents. Sometimes the entire plant is used. Parts of an herb plant, other than the leaves, that are used for food flavoring are called ‘spices.’ Harvest time for herbs is decided by the individual plant. Most aromatic herbs are ready just as buds open into full blossom. The plants then contain the most volatile oils, which provide the greatest amount of fragrance and flavor. There are exceptions to this rule. Sage leaves should be picked when buds first appear. Hyssop, lavender and thyme should be picked when in full bloom. Many herbs are ready to flower and therefore harvest in mid-summer. Throughout the growing season, pick healthy leaves (not those yellow or brown with age) to use whole or chopped in culinary dishes.
