Lemon grass is used in many asian dishes. The leaves and stems can be used for cooking, the base and roots can be planted and grown in a pot. Lemon grass is cold sensitive and must be brought inside for the winter. Can be planted outside in spring to grow into a large beautiful clump throughout the summer. One bunch is about the size of a large handful.

Not true spinach at all, but beautiful vines for either the flower garden or the veggie patch! Where true spinach is a cool-season crop, Malabar Spinach thrives on hot weather.

Meyer lemons are thought to be a cross between regular lemon trees and mandarin oranges (clementines).The Meyer lemon fruit is yellow and rounder than a true lemon, and Meyer lemon fruits have a sweeter, less acidic flavor than the more common grocery store lemon varieties. The Meyer lemon is commonly grown in China in garden pots as an ornamental tree, where it is treasured for its compact size, hardiness, and productivity. It became popular as a food item in the United States after being rediscovered by chefs, including Martha Stewart who began featuring them in her recipes.At maturity, a Meyer lemon tree might reach 6 to 10 ft (2 to 3 m) tall, but they can be pruned smaller. Their leaves are dark green and shiny. The flowers are white with a purple base and fragrant. Meyer lemons grow well in a warm climate, but should be brought inside for an Athens winter. This is not a problem, because they are highly decorative and suitable for container growing. (The picture shows what a typical Meyer lemon fruiting tree looks like.) They are also fairly vigorous. A tree grown from seed, like the ones offered here, usually begins fruiting in four years. While trees produce fruit throughout the year, the majority of the crop is ready in winter. Trees require adequate water, but less in the winter. For maximum yield, they should be fertilized during growing periods.

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a perennial herb in the mint family Lamiaceae. As with all mints, the essential oils are said to have healing properties to aide sleep and agitation. It makes a nice tea, and is said to smell like a lemon, but it does have citronella which, to me, overwhelms the lemony scent. However, if you crush the leaves and rub them on the skin, it will help with those pesky mosquitoes and gnats!

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) grows 1 to 3 feet tall with reddish stems covered in dark green, toothed leaves. Small purple or pink flower spikes cover the plant in the summer months. Peppermint is a hybrid of spearmint (M. spicata) and water mint (M. aquatica). For drying mint, you would use this instead of the milder spearmint. It is the flavor of gum, toothpaste, and anything else that will give you a "minty clean" what-ever.

Spearmint hardy to the point of invasiveness (spreads via rhizomes), can easily take over an herb bed. It is better fresh, unlike peppermint, so find a spot and let it grow. Spearmint has a more savory flavor than peppermint and is used in cooking and as a garnish. Believe it or not, I have had spearmint refuse to grow. I would suggest a sunny spot with a lot of organic matter in the soil. Wet or dry it will grow, if IT likes the location.

Just the way my grandma liked them, and she was a strict teacher when she sent us young'uns out for greens. Easter dinner of Lamb with mint jelly, lamb's quarters with just a touch of garlic, was a special time for all us kids. Lamb's Quarters (Chenopodium album) can be picked young for salads. When cooking the easiest preparation is to simply steam the leaves and stems in a small amount of water until tender. The greens will cook very quickly and turn a dark green color as they shrink down during cooking. The cooked greens are delicious just as they are with no additional seasoning or flavoring necessary. They easily substitute for chard and spinch. As with all greens, lamb's quarters contain oxalic acid which can interfere with calcium utilization unless eating with a good source of calcium, such as cheese or yogurt, at the same meal. ****NUTRITION: Lambs Quarter contains over 100% DV of vitamins A & C, with vitamin C and K levels, topping those of spinach, as well as a considerable amount of calcium and an array of trace minerals. Containing 58 calories (11 from FAT) per one cup cooked, it’s also high in fiber.****

My grandma always said, "Scarlett O'Hara was the silliest woman. In the South, if you can find some greens, and there are always some if you open your eyes, then you'll never starve." I pick Poke Salit for some old folk who can't pick their own any more. Even though it's not a green that I enjoy, I know how to pick it, and chose new plants growing in the cool of my shady woods so that the leaves and stems are tender. If you would like to try them, or cook 'em up in remembrance of a grand now gone to her reward, I'd be glad to pick you a bunch. PLEASE BE SURE TO READ ALL THE CAUTIONS AND BOILING PROCEDURES AVAILABLE ONLINE IF YOU ARE GOING TO COOK UP A MESS. I pick young, tender, pre-red leaves, and many of my friends boil once and eat 'em up, but they can still be toxic if you don't follow the directions or have an experienced person with you.

In May, electric pink flowers top the grey foliage on multibranched stems of this beautiful plant. Originally a wildflower, it has been a favorite passalong plant among Southern gardeners for centuries. Like many gray-foliaged plants, rose campion is very drought-resistant, and seems (so far!) to resist deer. It needs full sun and good drainage. Rose campion (Lychnis coronaria) is biennial or a short-lived perennial. To make sure you always have some in your garden, just let it go to seed without mulching around it. (The seeds seem to need light to germinate.) Like other native plants that must compete with grasses and weeds, rose campion will seed freely. The little first-year rosettes that appear can be moved to new locations or, if you have "too much of a good thing", they pull out easily.

Another true passalong gem, the tawny daylily grows almost anywhere, and has appeared in Chinese literature for over 2,000 years. This is the sturdy ancestor that appears in the parentage of almost all of the newer hybrids. Tawny daylilies grow exuberantly in full sun or light shade in any well-drained soil, and require no care. Each plant will become a clump within a few years. Each flower blooms for only a day, but several flowers appear on each stalk.

One of the most drought-tolerant, easy-care perennials you can grow! Yarrow actually grows best on rather poor soil, but wants sunshine and good drainage. (Some folks have used it to combat soil erosion on a slope.) In early summer, it blooms with a mixture of purple and white flowers on foot-long stems. Yarrow comes in various subspecies and colors, but this old-fashioned native one seems to us to be the strongest and most trouble-free. It will spread to become a clump that expands by runners, filling in the spaces between other perennials. (In some areas of the country, it grows so well that people label it as aggressive. However, we've not had that problem in our garden. If it comes up where it isn't wanted, it pulls up easily to transplant somewhere else.) We're offering small, well-rooted plants at a modest cost, and suggest you buy at least three. Plant them in a triangle about 10-12 inches apart and watch them fill in to make a lovely clump.

Stoke's Aster is a species of summer-flowering plant native to southeastern North America, the only species in the genus Stokesia. It's broad, upward-facing flowers of silvery sky blue with a slight hint of lavender continue to appear on the compact, low plants throughout the summer. This beautiful and easy to grow native perennial makes an excellent cut flower and is a butterfly magnet. Adding a few southeastern natives such as Stoke's aster and daylilies to your landscape may be the best way to get a more beautiful landscape with much less effort.These plants are ideally suited to the south. They are uniquely adapted to annual rainfall patterns, humid summers, wet winters and sticky clay. They have also developed natural defenses against an assortment of insect pests and diseases. For these reasons, native plants require less regular maintenance, less watering once established, fewer insect and disease controls, and little if any additional fertilizer.

Now's the time to start helping our native beneficial insects! Pollination is key to a successful garden, and with these nestboxes, you can help assure that it occurs. When people think of pollinators, they usually think only of honeybees. However, there are actually over 19,000 species of bees around the world, and these native pollinators are responsible for most pollination. And while honeybees are "social bees" that sting to defend their colony, these other pollinating bees are "solitary bees" that are not aggressive. As a group, native pollinators are threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, disease, and parasites. These threats to the sustainability of native pollinators and their habitat have serious economic implications for native ecosystem diversity and stability for humans. You can do your part to help! Many of these native pollinators nest in hollow twigs, and will readily nest close to one another. By placing one or more of these double-sided, natural-bamboo nestboxes in sheltered locations around your home and garden, you will be rewarded in the spring by the nesting activities of many different species of solitary bees. Each double-ended nestbox cluster has rearing chambers for 20 pollinators, and each of these usually produces 3-5 offspring. However, adult bee mortality is high, so it's not overdoing things at all to place several of these nestboxes around your vegetable or flower garden. Bees of all kinds are under a lot of stress nowadays. Do what you can to help them out!
