(Hoja de cólico) Stunning combination of green peppers and basil! Unusual basil from Chiapas, in southern Mexico. Tea made from the leaves is a popular remedy for stomachache, colic, abdominal distension and diarrhea. Its powerful antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties help to explain why this traditional Mayan remedy is still widely used today. Also effective as a mosquito repellent. In the kitchen its green pepper flavour and aroma offer exciting possibilities. Fresh chopped leaves work well in soups and salads, on cheese and crackers, on scrambled eggs, and in sandwiches. Grows best in part shade; too much sun can make the leaves tough and inedible |

Eucalyptus
| 4 | 0 | Eucalyptus cinerea (silver dollar) While this variety can be grown as a tree outdoors in warm climates, it also works well as an annual and can reach up to 8 feet in one season. It's also known for its cinnamon-colored, peeling bark.9
Start with the largest pot available. Once the tree outgrows the pot, its best to discard it and start over with a fresh seedling, as eucalyptus trees grown in pots dont take to transplantation to the ground. If you live in a warm climate and you want to grow eucalyptus in the ground, its best to make that decision from the get-go. Keep in mind that eucalyptus needs a location in full sunlight, with protection from the wind.

Water eucalyptus regularly, especially during warm, dry weather. Eucalyptus is drought tolerant and will rebound from a slight wilt, but it may not recover if the foliage is allowed to shrivel. On the other hand, avoid overwatering.

Sweetgrass

Hierochloe odorata
Uses: Medicinal/Aromatic Duration: Perennial (hardy in zones 3-9)
Also known as holy grass, sweetgrass is considered one of the four sacred herbs of the First Nations and is used in traditional ceremonies to promote peace and healing. The sweet vanilla scent is produced by the chemical coumarin, and it thought to evoke a calm, meditative relaxation. The fragrance of this grass can be used to scent everything from linen closets to candles and bath salts with its soothing perfume. Producing stands of long satiny green ribbons that should be cut to prevent the plant from dying back, sweetgrass can be used to scent linens and clothing when dried, or tightly braided and burned as incense. In Europe during the Medieval period, sweetgrass was scattered across the floors of cathedrals to scent the air. The cut grass can be woven into hats, baskets and mats. Medicinally, it can be infused into a tea to calm windchapped skin and sunburn. It grows quickly and can be harvested twice a year or more by cutting, never pulling up from the roots. The plant prefers fertile, evenly moist to damp soil and full sun, and will tolerate part shade in the southern States. It is a very hardy perennial and can be invasive, spreading from the roots. Deer and livestock avoid it. Sweetgrass has been in cultivation by humans for thousands of years, propagating from division, and thus has lost some of its ability to set viable seed. Therefore, seed can be difficult to germinate. For those who are up to the challenge, however, it is worthwhile to gain the sweet scent in the garden, and the many uses of this ancient plant.
Note: Sweetgrass seeds typically have a low germination rate, around 5-10%. This is due to a biological limitation in sweetgrass flowers to produce viable seeds. Fortunately, a single seedling can produce hundreds of plants because the roots produce many rhizomes which develop into new plants. |

Tomato (Large)
Tycoon
| 1 | 1 | Tycoon is an exceptional large round tomato variety. The plant is determinate and is known for its heat setting ability as well as its resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus. This particular virus has become a major problem in the fall the past few years as the virus is transmitted by white flies which have become worse due to the serious drought conditions across most of the state. In addition the plant is resistant to Verticillium, Fursarium races one and two, tomato spotted wilt virus as well as nematodes. The fruit is firm and actually more oblate than round.
Exposure: Full sun for optimum production
Size: Height 3 to 4 feet high; width 2 to 3 feet wide
Planting time: In early spring after the danger of frost has passed and in the summer 80 to 90 days prior to the first freeze in the fall; best to use high quality transplants; if seed is used it should be started 6 to 8 weeks prior to the planting date
-----------------------------------
Soil Requirements:
Requires fertile slightly acid soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply mulch and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant. Work the soil thoroughly before planting. Add well-rotted manure and compost.
Water Requirements:
Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells. Water in the morning only, on the side of the plants and not directly on the leaves.
Fertilizer Requirements:
Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro every two weeks. |

Atlas (Beef Steak)
| 1 | 1 | Blooming Season: Summer, Late Spring
Plant Habit: Upright
Exposure: Sun
General Information: This beefsteak tomato is ideal for containers or in-ground production.
With a big yield of extra-large tomatoes and good disease resistance, Atlas will surely delight any space-saving gardener.

Water thoroughly twice per week, and
try to water early in the day so that
plants will dry off before evening.

in the season will grow a large plant
with fewer tomatoes.
Mulching helps ensure an even
