Elderberry - The Flu Remedy

Elderberry is used as a delicious remedy for the flu. It prevents the flu virus from attaching to our cells and therefore, it shortens the duration and severity of the flu.

Elderberry is extremely useful for fighting the flu. It contains compounds that keep the flu virus from attaching to the cell, so it can shorten the duration of your illness and possibly lesson the severity.

Elderberries make a wonderfully tasty remedy. You can use them fresh or dried equally well. Making a sweet elderberry syrup or a semi sweet tincture.

When wildcrafting elderberries, be sure to only pick from areas that do not receive a lot of vehicle traffic and be certain to only pick the most ripe berries. This is easy to do, as they are picked in large umbrells of berries per stem.

Red Clover

Red clover is a popular tonic herb. It has a sweet taste and is easily recognized by beginning herbalists. Red clover is used for women's issues, as a powerful addition to their herbal medicine chest.

Red clover is an important herb to know. The blossoms are easy to pick and the few tiny leaves that sometimes are attached can also be included in the harvest.

Use the flowers as a tasty accent in your salad or freeze individual blooms in ice cubes for a pretty addition to a pitcher of lemonade or tea.

Red clover blossoms are traditionally used for menopause issues, as they are said to helps balance the estrogen levels during this time. Red clover is also used in herbal cancer fighting treatments. This herb does have a blood thinning effect, and should not be used by anyone taking blood thinning drugs.

Red clover can be used as a cover crop in your garden area, as well as wildcrafted from clean, wild places.

Basil

Basil is a fragrant herb with strong ties to both Italian and Indian cooking. Basil varieties range from teeny fairy basil to large garden varieties with leaves large enough to use as wraps in cooking. Basil has many different colors. You can grow plants that are a deep purple, blue or a myriad of greens. There are also many different flavors of basil; sweet, spicy, lemon and even licorice can be found. For gardeners, no matter if you have a small window box garden or a large acre farm, basil has plants that will grow well in any size space. Look for a bush basil for a more compact and dwarf habit. Basil is an easy to grow annual so you can grow it straight from seed or start with a few plants. Basil likes well drained soil because it is susceptible to mildew and needs to remain watered but not soaking wet. It is also a good idea to keep larger leaves pinched back. The more airflow around the plant, the healthier for your basil.

Although basil is sometimes found crushed in jars, it doesn't dry well.If the leaves are bruised, they will turn an unsightly black. To store your excess basil for winter's use, puree in a food processor with just enough olive oil to make a paste. Freeze in ice cube trays and then pop the frozen cubes into a gallon size freezer bag. In any size garden, make room for basil.

Compost

Compost Pile Compost Pile

©2008, A. Jeanroy, Licensed to About.comAny herb gardener will benefit from adding nutrients and organic matter to the soil in order to grow plants well. One of the most popular and beneficial things to add is compost. Compost can be purchased at any garden supply center, but it is very easy (and less expensive) to make your own. Whether your garden is indoors or out, compost will help all your herbs grow better. The act of composting is putting organic materials in a pile or container, along with water. This pile is turned periodically and the beneficial bacteria will thrive. This creates high heat and breaks down the raw organic materials into a dark, rich, soil-like product. There will be no discernible original parts, and finished compost has a fresh, earthy odor. If you have a small indoor garden, you can simply create less compost. If you are growing your herbs outdoors, you can never have enough of this black gold. A nice idea for indoor composting is to buy a rubbermaid-style tub that will fit under your kitchen sink and begin composting with earthworms. This is called vermiculture, and it is the perfect way to create compost for all your indoor herbs.

For larger amounts, you may want to contain your compost pile in a bin. These can be made of any material you have access to. I have used free wooden pallets with great results. I simply wire three together and have the fourth side open for turning. These pallet bins are easy to move in the fall and contain enough room for me to easily stir the contents. There are many other styles of compost bins to choose from. You can spend hundreds of dollars buying a fancy version that is essentially a barrel with a handle to crank it around with. The choice is yours. Now, on to the ingredients needed for a healthy compost pile.

Compost needs three essential ingredients in order for the magic to happen: Green material Brown material Sufficient moisture

Green material is high in nitrogen. It is usually what we refer to as kitchen scraps like coffee grounds, peelings, fruit cores, and eggshells. Any kitchen waste that is not greasy or meat can be composted. Manure (NOT dog and cat waste, only barnyard animals), grass clippings, leaves, and weeds you have pulled are also green materials.

Brown material is high in carbon. Paper, sawdust, small branches and twigs, and straw all fall into this category. You may not believe that the items have anything to offer your compost, but they certainly do. The ratio of nitrogen to carbon ideally works out to be equal parts of both for us on the farm. We use all of our stems and any part of the herbs that we are not going to save and what we clean out of the stalls in the goat barn as the majority of our brown and green material. Cornstalks and kitchen scraps also get added regularly. We never have enough compost, but every bit helps and we do not suffer from drought or standing water like some of our neighbors do.

Water is the final key ingredient in a thriving compost pile. Without moisture, your pile will take months to do anything, and if dry enough, will not break down at all. If your pile is too wet, it will smell and become slimy as the ratio of bad bacteria outweighs the good. You want it to remain damp, but not dripping wet. If you do not get enough rainfall to suffice, dump a bucket over it once a week to keep things moving. You will know that your compost pile is right if it becomes hot in the middle. This is important to sterilize the compost and kill the weed seeds or bad diseases that may be there. The heat is your proof that the ratio is working for your compost pile.

You will turn your pile from the outside in about once a week. This doesn't have to be anything major, simply shovel the outer portion of the pile towards the inside and continue moving in this way around the pile until you have rearranged it so that fresh compost is now exposed. This way, all the beneficial organisms can have a chance to work on all of the pile's ingredients.If your pile heats up, gets moisture, and gets turned regularly, you should have dark, wonderful compost in about one to two month's time. Use this fertile addition to any herbs you have, both indoors and out. Add it in large quantities in the spring to the soil you are going to plant in. Use it throughout the season to top off any soil that has become tamped down due to water runoff or settling. In the fall, break down your garden and put any parts of it that are not diseased back into a new compost pile to work all winter and you will have new compost to use the following spring.

Rosemary

Rosemary, (Rosemarinus officinalis), is a delicious and beautiful herb. You can find many varieties to fit your need: upright and trailing. Use them interchangeably and even grow multiple varieties as each is distinctly different looking. I use trailing varieties for my herb standards. I braid three stems and use those as the main stem. It gives a more decorative look to my finished standard.

The ancients were well acquainted with the shrub, which had a reputation for strengthening the memory. On this account it became the emblem of fidelity for lovers. It holds a special position among herbs from the symbolism attached to it. Not only was it used at weddings, but also at funerals, for decking churches and banqueting halls at festivals, as incense in religious ceremonies. In early times, Rosemary was freely cultivated in kitchen gardens and came to represent the dominant influence of the house mistress. 'Where Rosemary flourished, the woman ruled.' In place of more costly incense, the ancients used Rosemary in their religious ceremonies. An old French name for it was Incensier.

Rosemary succeeds best in a light, rather dry soil, and in a sheltered situation, such as the base of a low wall with a south aspect. On a chalk soil it grows smaller, but is more fragrant. The silver and gold striped kinds are not quite so hardy. If you are living in a northern zone, plant your rosemary in pots to move indoors when the weather grows cooler. Rosemary grows very well as an indoor plant as well. Rosemary is a strongly scented herb. It pairs well with butter for a rich spread. It also compliments poultry and potato dishes. Rosemary is easily dried and used throughout the winter. Crush the needle like leaves in your hand to release its volatile oils before adding to your recipe. The stems can also be used as skewers and they will infuse your meat with a fabulous flavor.

5 best herbs from seed

Dill doesn't mind the cold, wet ground of early spring. It comes up quickly, and can be used as soon as there is enough to trim off.

A popular variety, called Fern Leaf Dill, grows a large amount of leaf, before it starts to go to blossom. It is a great way to build up a supply of dill for the off season.

Because it goes to seed quite fast, you may have some new dill growing already. As soon as I clear away the fall debris in the garden, I often find some new dill seedlings poking their heads up. I leave them in place (even if they are not where I would have planted them), and use until frost. 

Dill brightens up many dishes, especially welcome in the winter, when we eat a lot of heavier meals. Try making Dilly Green Beans, with the extra dill.

What is Fennel

Fennel is a lovely herb, that can be used for many types of gardens. Try growing it in your kitchen garden, medicinal gardens and simply for attracting insects in your butterfly gardens. Any way you choose, fennel will be sure to please.

Fennel is an herb that gives and gives all season long. Its showy form makes a stunning backdrop or focal point in your garden. Butterflies cannot resist this herb, and it is a siren's song to the swallowtail butterfly.

Fennel leaves are tasty in salads and light dishes for summer. Their anise flavor is well liked by all. Add to fish dishes and brighten an otherwise strong flavored variety of fish.

Medicinally, fennel is used in a tea to aid digestion, and also known to reduce hunger pains and sweeten the breath.For nursing mothers, fennel seed tea is used to increase milk. This is a great addition to a mother's milk tea.Finally, fennel tea is also a soothing eyewash for conjunctivitis.

Try growing fennel in your garden, just be aware of its tendency to reseed itself and take over your entire gardening space. To avoid this, keep the flowerheads cut off so there are no seeds. Once you are ready to collect the seeds, keep an eye on the developing flowers, and place a small paper bag over the flowerhead before cutting the dried flower at harvest time. Then, the seeds that will inevitably fall off, will be collected and not fall to the ground.

Mixing Herbs For Tea

Mixing your own herbs for tea, is as easy as choosing the scents that appeal to you and blending up your favorite choices. I find that in the summer months, ice tea is the beverage of choice in my home. Here are the basic herbs that I grow to make a fabulous tea that everyone loves.

The basic blend includes flowery notes of some sort. I use violet flowers,chamomile flowers, dandelion petals, calendula petals or wild rose petals for this. Add one part of this herb.
After adding the flowers (fresh or dried), I add the place holding flavor. To this, I mean the flavor that ties everything together and keeps my iced tea tasting strong enough to withstand a few ice cubes melting into it. Dried red raspberry leaves or dried nettles work well here. Add two parts of these herbs.
Next, a fruity or naturally sweet component is nice. I use dried rosehips most often. These are sold in many herb shops or health food stores if you have not harvested your own. Another addition to this would be Hibiscus flowers. They are not only sweet and lemony flavored, they also impart a rich, red color to your teas. Add one part of these herbs.
Finally, I add the cooling herb. Mint is usually most common here. You can add any combination or variety of your available mints. Add one part of these herbs. A nice and naturally cooling herb is Borage. The leaves or flowers can be used.

After mixing up your favorite blend of herb tea, using these ideas, keep in a glass jar in a dark place. Use at least one teaspoon of dried herbs per cup of water, more to taste.

A part means that whatever measurement you have handy: i.e. your hand, a cup, a tablespoon, is the overall measurement, and you use one or more of them per ingredient.

I hope you can come up with a variation to call your own, that tastes refreshing and delicious for your whole family.

Peppermint

Peppermint, (M. Piperita), is a wandering, invasive herb with a deep purple, square stem and deep green leaves. The undersides of the leaves are purple as well. This is a common and fast growing mint that makes a great tea. Easily recognisable, the taste of peppermint is refreshing and cooling on a hot summer day. It is also soothing to an upset stomach, due to the menthol it contains.The menthol in peppermint soothes the lining of the digestive tract an stimulates the production of bile, which is an essential digestive fluid. A hot cup of herbal tea is an excellent way to settle your stomach after a big meal.

Peppermint is the flavoring of choice for toothpaste as it is an excellent breath freshener. When using peppermint tea as a breath freshener, increase the effectiveness by adding a pinch of anise, caraway or cinnamon. Menthol vapors are famous for relieving nasal, sinus and chest congestion. For a more effective cold remedy, combine peppermint with elder flower and yarrow. For a hacking cough, drink 3 to four cups of cool peppermint tea throughout the day, taking a sip every 15 to 30 minutes.

Peppermint can overtake a garden bed so grow it either in its own pot or bury a pot to the rim in the soil to keep the roots contained. Like most mints, peppermint likes moist, rich soil and full sun. It can grown in partial sun though, so consider it in an area that may not grow much else due to the lack of sunlight. Unlike many other mints that grow from seed, true peppermint grows from cuttings. Stems can be cut and placed in water until they grow roots. These new cuttings will grow new, healthy plants. Often, what is marked as peppermint is just a variety of mint because mints are so easily cross pollinated. Buy true peppermint from reputable growers and see that it is labeled M. Piperita.

Get High With Household Herbs

I have received many emails asking if there are any household herbs that can make a person high or achieve an altered state of consciousness. Answer:

If you are asking as a potential user or a parent of someone who may want to use, it is important to know what household herbs can make a a person high. Although anything has the potential to be misused, there are some common household seasonings that can produce an altered state.

Nutmeg - ingesting a large quantity of this seasoning will produce what drug users refer to as a bad trip, or an altered state that is uncomfortable and exhausting. It is not recommended by either those who use drugs, nor those that do not. Because hearth palpatations, vision disturbances and heavy sweating and extreme exhaustion are the results of its misuse, nutmeg is better left in the kitchen.

Salvia - There is a variety of salvia, known as Salvia divinorum, that has found underground noteriety because of its effects and the fact that for now, it is legal. This beautiful plant was originally used for religious ceremonies by a very select few. By bringing it mainstream, concentrating, and misusing it, the herb is no longer considered harmless and should be noted.

There are many myths about household food and seasonings that seem to continue through the years. The following items have all been said to cause some sort of reaction when misused. The truth is, the only reaction is a headache and/or nausea.

Herbal Head lice Removal

Want a natural way to get rid of head lice? Try whipping up remedies involving rosemary, lavender, and thyme. Herbs for head lice are used in many ways. They are a natural remedy for these annoying critters, usually showing up in epidemic proportions once schools are back in session.

To use herbs to repel head lice, simply make a infusion of the herb, or combination of herbs. Use the infusion as a rinse after shampooing. Additionally, place up to 6 drops of essential oil from the repellent herbs, in your bottle of shampoo. I like a blend of lavender and rosemary, three drops each, as a preventative mixture.

Are you trying to get rid of head lice once infested? Try adding up to 6 drops of essential oil from any of the herbs that repel lice, to an ounce of olive oil (for shoulder length or shorter hair. Double this, for longer hair). Comb this mixture into hair, completely saturating every strand, and the scalp. Cover the head with a shower cap, and leave on overnight, then wash with a gentle shampoo in the morning. Once hair is washed, comb with a fine toothed comb to remove nits. The oil will help loosen the nits, making them easier to remove. Repeat for up to three nights, taking a break from the essential oil for two nights, and repeat if necessary.

Always keep in mind that head lice are simply an opportunistic bug. They are not reflective of your hygiene or any other factor. Keep a close eye on your kid's hair for the few weeks that head lice are being spread around every year, and you may never have to deal with these annoyance of head lice again.

Oregano

Possibly one of the most recognized herbs in the cook's garden, oregano is easy to grow and adds plenty of taste either fresh or dried, to foods.

Oregano is a satisfying herb for any gardener. It is easy to grow and care for, as long as it does not remain wet for too long. Oregano grows very well in partial sun, making it a good choice for an indoor windowsill garden.

Oregano is also a well loved cooking herb. It is used in Italian cooking and known by most children as the pizza herb. Use it in any tomato based dish with great success.

To dry, strip oregano leaves from the stem and lay on paper towel, out of direct sunlight. Store in an airtight container and enjoy throughout the winter season.

Chives

Chives are one of the most well known herbs, but often one of the least used. Everyone seems to know someone else who grows chives but other than snipping onto baked potatoes, Chives never seem to get used to their total potential.

Chives are a wonderful addition to the beginner's garden. They impart a light onion flavor in any dish and can be used interchangeably in recipes calling for onions. There is even a variety of chives that tastes like a blend of onion and garlic. Chives keep their lovely green color when cooked so they make a fancy addition to butters for an aromatic blended topping for corn on the cob, pasta dishes or garlic bread.

Chives are easy to grow. They require full sun and will benefit from rich, moist soils. Keeping your chive plant snipped back will cut down on the dried, yellow stems from overtaking the entire clump. These are simply the chive leaves that have finished their growing cycle. Cutting them back will create a new batch of bright green leaves. If you continue to cut the blossom heads from your chive plant, the flowers will keep coming and you will have a special ingredient for the following culinary delight. Chives need to be divided every two to three years. You simply dig up the entire clump of chives in early spring, chop it into two or three pieces with a shovel and replant each one separately. This ensures a fresh start for more chives. Chives have a stunning purple blossom that offers a culinary treat that will become a fantastic treat for any food lover. Fill a one quart jar about 1/2 full of white vinegar. Start snipping and submerging the blossoms as they open. If you continue to snip and remove all the blossoms, this will force the plant to keep making flowers. Once the jar is full-with vinegar covering the blossoms, cover and let steep in a dark cupboard for at least 2 weeks. The blossoms will fade to white and the vinegar will become a shockingly pink color. The delicate taste of chive blossoms will arguably be one of the finest infused vinegars you will ever taste. Be sure to keep this treat in the dark as sunlight will fade the color rapidly. This makes a wonderful gift for your food loving friends. Chives are easy to grow and abundant. To store them for winter use, you must not dry them. The taste fades rapidly. The proper way to keep chives tasting fresh all year long is to freeze them. I have frozen them in long stems and snipped them into the foods as needed or you can snip them before freezing in a freezer proof bag.

Chives also grow very well on a windowsill. If you would like to try growing herbs inside and do not think you have enough light, try chives at first. They will grow almost anywhere as long as they don't get too dry.

Repel Pests

You have planned and planted, why do you need garden pest control? Pests can come in many sizes. If you have something large and furry eating your herbs then you have some fencing decisions to make. If you are concerned about the small flying and sucking or chewing variety of pests then there are things you can do to lessen the impact they have on your herb garden with a few tips.

As a rule, the aromatic herbs are not as bothered by pests as some vegetable gardens are. This does not mean that nothing bothers herbs, just that the quantity of pests you have to deal with is less. The first thing you must do is identify the pest. Once you know what sort of pest it is, there are some organic ways to deter them from eating your herbs. Companion planting is a natural way that helps keep some pests away. For instance, Garlic is useful against Japanese beetles and aphids. Plant garlic outside and mash garlic and mix with water to spray inside on your plants. It just may do the trick. Calendula deters many pests both above and below ground. Calendula is a wonderful herb with many uses so planting extra to deter insects is only more helpful to you. Mint deters pests like aphids and flea beetles. You can find mints in any local nursery. No matter what variety, they all have the same repellent quality to insects. Lavender is legendary for its ability to repel moths. Mint is lovely and fits in most any garden scheme so try it for your pest problem!

Daily maintenance is important in finding the pest problem and either picking the bugs off by hand or being able to treat the small area before it becomes a larger problem. A soapy spray is a good way to treat for sucking insects. combine some pure soap, grated, with some water until soap dissolves. Spray this on any herb that seems to be affected by insects. Be certain to spray both the tops and undersides of the foliage and make sure that the soap solution drips off. This is safe for edible herbs. The only caution is to rinse the herbs well before adding to a recipe.

Growing Vegetables and Herbs In A Small Area

For anyone accustomed to the notion that a vegetable garden must be a fairly large affair - its rows stretching fifteen or twenty feet at a minimum, the concept of crops pushing up from a small container or appearing to burst the bonds of a tiny patch of ground only a few feet square - it is almost unsettling. Yet growing vegetables in cramped spaces is not only possible but highly rewarding. One can grow tomatoes in tubs at the edge of a patio, strawberries in empty milk cartons on a windowsill, lettuce in a modest window box, watermelons along a strip beside a driveway or beans on a trellis on a small apartment balcony.
How to grow vegetables and herbs in different places (professional manual) - click here...
A year-long harvest of several kinds of vegetables can be gained from a single area no wider than a card table. To achieve this kind of bounty in lap-sized spaces it is necessary merely to provide the right growing conditions and to purchase seed varieties that are appropriate for small-scale circumstances. Luckily a number of seed companies have responded to the newly recognized demand for miniature or compact plants, and more new strains are being offered to the public every year, often grouped together under such headings as "space savers," "space misers" or "midgets."
Producing vegetables on a reduced scale, however, is basically a different proposition from other kinds of gardening. Small gardens devoted to woody ornamentals like dwarf conifers, rhododendrons or heathers or to miniature bulbs or alpines are arranged and managed largely for appearance: they exist to be decorative, to please the eye. Vegetables are most often grown to reward not the eye but the palate. So while corn stalks and bean bushes can make the mouth water they rarely make the eye pop, and they are not likely to be found gracing a well designed border, although creative horticulturists have combined a few of the handsomest vegetables with flowering plants to good effect.
How to grow vegetables and herbs in small yards - click here.
The greatest difficulties are practical ones. Although the leafy greens, like lettuce, can do fairly well on only four hours of direct sunlight a day, any vegetable that produces a fruit (tomatoes, beans, corn and so on) must have a solid eight hours of warming sun or its yields will be disappointing or virtually nonexistent; but that bright light does not benefit dwarf azaleas. Similarly, a friable soil mix, amply fertilized, is desirable in vegetable growing but too heady for many dwarf plants that are expected to stay small. The major problem, however, is presented by the need to turn over the vegetable garden's soil every year, in effect reconstituting it; such heavy tilling cannot be done in a bed of rock garden plants and perennials.
How to grow vegetables and herbs in little spaces - click here.
In most cases, a vegetable patch must be sited differently and separated from the conventional small-scale garden.
This said, there is no doubting the fact that the smaller vegetables are worth trying, especially if space for the larger kind is at a premium. It is important to choose, however, the kind of smallness desired, whether it is the fruit or produce itself that will be miniature, or the plant that yields it. Miniature vegetables as such are amusing and eye-catching, a novelty that many restaurants and imaginative cooks offer with great success. Some miniatures, for example, cherry tomatoes, are accepted for their own sake, while a number of vegetables are of course just naturally small - radishes, for example.
