Hi folks. Last call on plant orders. If you haven’t ordered please do so by noon on Friday. We still have Cherokee Purple, German Johnson, Eva Purple Bell, Jaune Flamme (late blight resistant), Manapal, Pineapple Hawaiian, and Pineapple ground cherry (yes they taste like little bites of pineapple) tomatoes. We also have green or purple tomatillo plants.

Below is a complete list:

Herbs:
Ashwagandha (limited) - know for its restorative benefits. Helps strengthen immune system especially after illness. Helps with stress. Reduces anxiety without drowsiness. Annual
Astragalus - immune stimulant protects against illness. In his book Healing Lyme Stephen Harrod Buhner makes a convincing case that astragalus can prevent and treat the many and varied symptoms of Lyme disease. Small yellow pea-like flowers on upright stems with vetch-like leaves. 1½–4' perennial
Anise Hyssop - amazing purple flowers deliciously aromatic foliage and sweet, licorice-mint flavor. Anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) is a popular bedding plant and edible flower. It produces abundant blooms and attracts bees and other pollinators, making it a lovely addition to the pollinator garden. Select from conventional and organic seed.
Basil - Sweet Genoese (new downy mild resistant) grows all season amazing. SOLD OUT
Basil – Thai Great in stir fry and in salads
Boneset - Herbaceous perennial flowering, white to 4 feet. Dried leaf and flowering tops, intensely bitter, may be made into a tea or tincture to treat colds and flu. Plant prefers part shade to full sun and moist soils.
Borage - Flowers and leaves used for fevers, cough and depression. Diuretic. Beautiful blue flowers - great for pollinators. Annual
Butterfly w**d - SOLD OUT
Calendula (Resina Yellow or Orange)beautiful flowers you can eat and use to make healing salves. Antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral makes it useful for disinfecting and treating minor wounds, burns, bee stings, rashes and acne. Annual
Catnip - tea is most commonly used to treat nervousness and anxiety, along with other symptoms these conditions can cause, such as indigestion and insomnia. It may be used to treat conditions or symptoms related to gastrointestinal upset, including indigestion, cramping, and gas. Cats love it too! White flowers.
Chamomile German - aids in digestion if taken after meals, relaxing tea, relieves morning sickness. Beautiful daisy like flowers. Annual
Cilantro - slow bolting variety, its salsa time!
Elecampane - used for lung disease, including asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough. Used to prevent coughs and as an expectorant to loosen phlegm. Perennial
Holy Basil - stress reducer, immune enhancer, promotes longevity, helps fight infection and improves digestion. Rich in bioavailable vitamins and mineral. Used as a tea. Annual
Hyssop, Blue - great plant for attracting pollinators, has bright blue-violet flowers. Popular ornamental for the perennial bed. Tea has a soothing quality. Hyssop is used for digestive and intestinal problems including liver and gallbladder conditions, intestinal pain, intestinal gas, colic, and loss of appetite. It is also used for respiratory problems including coughs, the common cold, respiratory infections, sore throat, and asthma. SOLD OUT
Marigold Red or Orange - Hundreds of petite flowers cover neat, low mounds of lacy foliage with a citrusy scent. Long-blooming for beds, borders, and containers where it attracts beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, hoverflies, butterflies, predatory bugs, and parasitic wasps.
Marshmallow - Used to treat sore throats and dry coughs. Coats sore throat making it helpful in treatment of harsh cough. Antitussive, mucilaginous, and antibacterial properties. Beautiful soft pink flowers and soft foliage. One of my favorite. Perennial.
Mexican Arnica (NEW this year) - (Telegraph plant, Camphorw**d) Herbaceous perennial to 3 feet tall, flowering sunny yellow. The name “arnica” is a misnomer although there are some similarities between this plant and true Arnica, they are used in traditional medicine as topically applied antiinflammatories, and they both flower yellow. Mexican “arnica” is an interesting plant for the apothecary garden.
Mexican Tarragon (NEW this year)- an inspirational and vibrant yellow flower. As a spice, the leaves are a harmless additive to eggs and other protein dishes, rendering them savory, and the flavor is very much tarragon, but also anise. Traditional usage (TWM): Colds. Plant prefers full sun and regular garden soil or dry, marginal soils. SOLD OUT
Oregano culinary (Greek) - Strong oregano aroma and flavor; great for pizza and Italian cooking. Characteristic dark green leaves with white flowers. Also makes an amazing edible ground cover!
Sage, garden - Dusty, green leaves are used in dressing, sauces, salted herbs, sausage, and tea. Make a good base for dried floral wreaths. Also known as garden sage. Perennial
Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) - Plant prefers part shade to full sun and moist soil. Traditional usage: TWM, sleeplessness, anxiety and depression. The plant is multi-stemmed, upright habit, reddish stems and blue flowers protruding sideways at the axils, Perennial. SOLD OUT
Spilanthes (Toothache Plant) - Flowers sport the characteristic bright crimson “fisheye” at the apex. Ancient, distinctively beautiful and highly entertaining plant. Traditional usage (TWM): anti-inflammatory, stimulant, tonic, dentifrice, earache, gum disease, lyme’s disease, and malaria. Annual in our area.
