Sweet woodruff is a lovely little plant which is eighteen inches tall and hasDoge’s delight with pink and white flowers. You will find this woodruff in the mountains of New Hampshire, some places in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. It is a dioecious plant which means that the flowers of one flower will produce seeds while the other will develop and do nothing.
Because it is a heedless plant, it will spread from season to season, seeking Grassland in the course of a single year.
To cultivate them you will need a hoe with a sharp blade, a smooth stone with the end turned up and a fair sharpening stone. Near the base of the plant you will find a circle of shallow holes called scabs. Every summer you can remove one or two scabs to let in the light and encourage growth. You must not prune this plant during the winter months.
The scabs should be removed in April and the plant brought into the house or placed in a warm spot in the house.It will soon produce sturdy stems and a bushy look.
To use clary sage, fill about one-third of a herb rag with the loose soil mix and roll it up like a band. Place the band around the stems and pull it down over the leaves. All the leaves then fall into the dirt and you can now use the sage.
Every time you use a fresh leaf from the plant, wipe it dry and make a fresh cut. If you leave it longer, the flavor will be stronger.
Experiment a little with different herbs and have a taste test at the end of the season to determine which of the herbs flavor is best. You can also grow a container of herbs that will be planted each year, such as thyme, rosemary and mint. That way, you will have a constant supply of culinary herbs that are always available.
It is recommended that you propagate from plants rather than seeds to maintain the species’ characteristics. When growing from seeds, the percentage of germination is low, approximately 3 to 5 percent. The trellises used for entwined plants like basil and curry help nurture the growth of the plants and help with their consistent growth.
