Ocimum is derived from the Greek word meaning to smell, like other plants in the mint family with square stems. Basil oils have potent antioxidant, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties.

The pungent bitter leaves are used sparingly in salads and oriental dishes. Rue is a culinary herb in Mediterranean and African cuisine, with a strong and bitter taste. Rue benefits the circulatory system, helps with nervous headaches, and is infused in honey for herbal cough syrups. Rue promotes the onset of menstruation and uterine contractions. Rue smells wonderful in bloom and attracts butterflies, while deterring pests from from roses and berries. This plant is not a good companion for sage, cabbage and basil. Deters moths and cats as well. Also known as Herb of Grace.

Modern sweet corn most likely descends from flint corns of the northeastern U.S. The sweet corn gene (sugary1, su1) was selected by Native American in at least four additional locations: highlands of Peru, central plateau of Mexico, northwestern Mexico southwestern U.S. and the northern Great Plains.

First introduced into Europe in the 18th century and was named Tropaeolum minus by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus. He chose the genus name because the plant reminded him of an ancient custom. After victory in battle, the Romans set up a trophy pole called a tropaeum. On this the armor and weapons of the vanquished foe were hung. Linnaeus was reminded of this by the plant as the round leaves resembled shields and the flowers, blood-stained helmets. Nasturtiums were once known commonly as \"Indian cresses\" because they were introduced from the Americas, known popularly then as the Indies, and used like cress as salad ingredients. The 16th-century herbalist John Gerard called the plant \"lark's heel\" in his book Of the Historie of Plants. ##Deep Harvest Farm##Certified Organic by WA Dept. of Ag.##Seed grower since 2010##\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/files\/Deep-Harvest-Farm_210x165.jpg?12506478495586146841##Deep Harvest Farm is a certified-organic vegetable, seed and flower farm on Whidbey Island in NW Washington.

In 2017, scientists reported on their discovery and analysis of a fossil tomatillo found in the Patagonian region of Argentina, dated to 52 million years B.P. The finding has pushed back the earliest appearance of the Solanaceae plant family of which the tomatillos are one genus. Tomatillos were domesticated in Mexico before the coming of Europeans, and played an important part in the culture of the Maya and the Aztecs, more important than the tomato.

Tan and green striped fruits range from loaf to longer shapes, often on the same plant. Bred by Carol Deppe of Corvallis Oregon who writes, “I think this is the most vigorous and most productive delicata in existence as well as having the best flavor. Allow 2-3 weeks after harvest for curing indoors before eating. Keeps indoors through December. (Note: This squash is so dry and has such a high sugar content that I recommend baking in a covered roasting pan to avoid its drying out or scorching. Put the cut de-seeded but not scraped or cleaned halves upside down on the roasting-pan rack and cover the pan with the lid with the vents open. With all squash, it's easiest to scrape away interior debris after the squash is cooked, and that debris helps keep the squash from drying out while cooking. Start oven at 400° F while the squash are coming up to temperature, then switch to 325° F to finish the squash without scorching.)

Looks aside, it tastes just like sprouting broccoli, perhaps even better but really it's just a cauliflower. It gets the name Nine Star from its growth habit. In April, one small head appears centrally, the size of a baby cauli. Cut this off and eat it, perhaps roasted in the oven with a little oil and lemon juice so the edges just crisp. Then nine or so smaller florets appear around the central head, just like sprouting broccoli. Sometimes, particularly if you have fed the plant with chicken manure pellets in early spring, you get even more smaller florets, which are perfect for salads. Excess cauliflowers can be frozen. Leaves can be shredded and used in coleslaw or stir fried. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCloser to the original biennial wild broccoli, does not flower until the second year. Does not form a consolidated head as in annual cultivated broccoli. More of a hardy broccoli, not a true perennial. As long as you dead head it and don't let it run to seed, it sticks around. It will crop every spring for at least three years, after which it gets a bit tired. Cut heads back in spring not allowing the plant to go to seed, will continue growing for several seasons. Trim back the plant a little after cropping with shears to encourage new growth once they are getting huge. (i.e. cut off about 18\" (45 cm) of foliage). Remove aphids at the first sign by spraying water and checking again in a few days. Use a physical barrier such as insect netting to protect from white cabbage moth. To suppress weed growth and to encourage good root growth mulch with good organic compost.
