Profile</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Amur Adonis (<em><span style="color: #1f1f1f;">Adonis amurensis</span></em>) is an early season ephemeral plant
that appears and disappears in the late-winter garden in a matter of weeks. The
plant’s foliage is lacy and ferny.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is native to <span style="color: #1f1f1f;">China along the Amur River and in other parts of Asia as well as
eastern Siberia</span>. Even though it is quite small, it still packs a punch
with its bright-yellow flowers in the bleak winter landscape like its cousin in
the<span style="color: #040c28;"> Ranunculus</span>
family Winter Aconite.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is hardy to USDA zones 4 to 7. It prefers to grow in full-
to part-sun and likes fertile, well-drained soils.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is <span style="color: #1f1f1f;">pollinated by bees, flies, and beetles. It is deer-resistant.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">There is an invasive look-a-like: Lesser Celandine (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ficaria verna</i>). However, that plant
blooms later in the season and does not have the ferny foliage that Amur Adonis
does.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Amur Adonis is a popular rock garden plant and several cultivars
have been bred in Japan.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">African Daisy (</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Osteospermums</i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> spp</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">.</i><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">) is a tender perennial that is sold as a
cool-season annual. It thrives in the shoulder seasons of our Mid-Atlantic
growing year—similar to pansies and sweet alyssum. They are hardy to USDA Zones
9 through 11.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">They have a daisy-like
bloom that is available in a range of colors from pinks to peaches to purples
and bicolors.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">African Daisies prefer to grow in full sun in evenly moist,
but well-draining soils. They do well in containers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">They attract pollinators and are an ideal cut flower.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">To encourage blooming, add a slow-release fertilizer when
you plant them and apply a liquid fertilizer every two weeks after that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Deadhead them frequently. In the summer, you can cut the
whole plant back to encourage new growth and flowers by autumn.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">They do not usually grow true from seed, but you can
propagate them from cuttings or experiment by collecting the seeds and seeing
what you get from them.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

flavoring and spice. Cilantro is a pretty plant with lace-like foliage that
blends well with ornamental plants in a container or grown in the ground. It is
in the same family as dill, parsley, carrots, and celery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It grows best in
full sun and well-draining soils. Amend your soil with compost and plant it
from seed directly into the ground. It is usually quick to germinate and you
can start harvesting it in a matter of weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Harvest it by
cutting off some leaves with kitchen scissors and using them fresh or drying or
freezing them in an ice cube with olive oil</span>. Cutting the leaves
regularly keeps the plant healthy and encourages more leaf production.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Cilantro is loved by
several garden pests so you may need to put a cover cloth over it to keep them
out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Cilantro grows best
in the cool-seasons of spring and fall in our region. When the weather heats
up, the plants bolt – that is, they set flower and form seeds. That is a good
thing though as you can collect these edible seeds (also known as coriander)
for planting next season and also use them in the kitchen as a spice.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

This juice concentrate can be the base of many recipes from jams and jellies, shrubs, syrups, cordials, and much more. It must be refrigerated and used within 24 to 48 hours or frozen (for up to 6 months). Or process in a boiling hot water bath in canning jars: pints for 20 minutes and quarts for 30 minutes. Here is a recipe for extracting the juice using 6 cups of berries—it is easily multiplied or divided—depending on the quantity of berries you have. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Makes about 2 cups of juice</span></p><div><span><br /></span></div>Ingredients:<br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">6 cups stemmed elderberries or 2 cups dried elderberries</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">1 cup water</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the berries and water and place, cover and place over medium heat. Bring the berries and water to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Once cooled, strain the juice through a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Squeeze the contents gently to extract all of the essence. There should be about 2 cups; you can add a little water to equal 2 cups if need be for a recipe. Use in a recipe or process in canning jars in a boiling water bath immediately.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Elderberry Syrup</span></h2><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Prepare the juice above to make this syrup. It can be made in smaller or larger quantities. I do not make large quantities; if you do, it will need to be refrigerated (for up to two weeks) or it is best to process it in canning jars in a boiling water bath and it will keep for up to 1 year. This syrup has so many wonderful uses. I use it straight by the teaspoonful for the symptoms of cold, flu, cough. I use it as the base for cordials and shrubs. It makes a delicious natural soda with sparkling water, combines well in punches, cocktails, with tea or lemonade, as a syrup for pancakes and waffles, drizzle over cakes and fruit, as a base or topping for ice cream. Note: sometimes I prepare this with pure maple syrup, which is yummy; it will be thinner than syrup prepared with honey. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Makes 1 quart of syrup</span></p><div><br /></div>Ingredients:<br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">2 cups elderberry juice</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">2 cups local honey</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In a deep bowl, combine the juice and the honey with a whisk.

We have been preparing elderberry shrub for years with only beneficial effects. Awhile back, we found out that elderberries should always be cooked before being eaten to avoid the possibility of ingesting unripe berries. Unripe berries contain prussic acid that causes cyanide poisoning if the berries are not cooked first before being consumed. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">http://www.herbalsafety.utep.edu/herbs-pdfs/blackelder.pdf</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. In the past, we made shrub without cooking the berries. We select only the ripe berries and carefully remove them from the stems before adding them to the vinegar. However, to be safe, we recommend that you bring your vinegar to a simmer and pour it over the elderberries, then proceed with the recipe. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Recipes for shrubs, also referred to as “switchel” and “beveridge” vary greatly and date as far back as pre-colonial times.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Shrubs can be made with sweetened fruit juice, fruit, vinegar, honey or sugar. Some suggest adding spirits such as rum or brandy to the shrub. We have never used spirits to make our shrubs but find the idea seductive. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Generally shrubs are sipped from a cordial glass, poured over ice, or served with a bit of sparkling water. They are a wonderful remedy for congestion, sore throat, and an excellent tonic for the body. They tend to make us perspire when we drink them. Of course, we choose elderberries for this shrub, however, you may substitute other berries such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, gooseberries, or a combination thereof. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Makes about 2 quarts</span></p><div><br /></div>Ingredients:<br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">2 cups ripe elderberries</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">1 quart apple cider vinegar</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">1 quart honey</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Wash and pick over the berries.

Profile</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Calendula (<i>Calendula
officinalis</i>) also known as Pot Marigold or Poet's Marigold. It is a
half-hardy perennial plant that readily re-seeds itself. It is hardy to USDA
zones 2 to 11.</span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Plant it in full sun and in well-draining, loamy
soil. Water it only during periods of drought. Deadhead it frequently to
encourage continual blooming. Calendula is also a long-lasting cut-flower.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">You should occasionally
weed around the plants and carefully pull out any new seedlings to pot them up
and pass them on to other gardeners.</span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">It was named Herb of the Year in 2008 as it is
both edible and beneficial. Snip off the colorful ends of the flower petals to
add a pretty accent to any salad or as a decoration on baked goods. It has a
very light taste -- like a spicy pale honey. The dried petals can be used to
color broths, cheeses, and butter. They are a thrifty substitute for the much
more expensive saffron spice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Calendula tends to sulk in the summer heat here
in the Mid-Atlantic US, but that is just a pause in its robust routine. In my
garden plot, I cannot recall any month of the year that it doesn't have a few
blooms opening up. This is a tremendous workhorse that belongs in every edible
and cutting garden.</span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> <o:p></o:p></b></p>

Profile</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">African Violets (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Saintpaulia
ionantha</i>) is a common houseplant that can be grown indoors year-round. They
are in the Gesneriad family and are not related to actual violets. These
easy-care flowering favorites have been grown and collected for more than a
century and are gaining in popularity today. 2024 is the Year of the African
Violet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They are native to the tropical rainforests of Africa. African
Violets thrive in filtered sunlight, never in full sun. Keep the soil moist but
not soggy and use room temperature water. Avoid drafty areas and sudden
temperature changes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">African violets bloom best when they are root-bound and snug
in a container. Use a light potting mix and re-pot it in fresh soil once a year.
Give them a few drops of African Violet liquid fertilizer every week or so.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">African Violets leaves can be heart-shaped or oval --
ruffled or serrated – deep-red or light-green -- and many other colors, shapes,
sizes, and forms.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The flowers are single or double – in pansy, star, or bell
shapes – and in colors from white to pink to red to purple. Color patterns are
numerous as well from speckles to bi-colors to chimeras.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once you start collecting, you won’t be able to stop.<o:p></o:p></p>

year-round or taken outside during the warmer months.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">Tillandsia </span></i><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">is in the Bromeliad family and there are more than 650
species of them. They are native to the desert and mountain regions of the
Americas from Argentina up through the Caribbean and southernmost United
States. Spanish Moss is a member of this family.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Of course, these plants do not actually live on air, but
they do not need to be planted in soil. They hang in trees where their curled leaves
have adapted to take in moisture from the air and to trap rain water for use
during drought periods.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Air Plants need to be in
bright, indirect light with good air circulation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">To water them, submerge
then in a bowl of room temperature water for a few minutes then drain them and
place them back in their display spot. Water them weekly and mist them
in-between waterings as necessary.</span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></p>
