Did you know that you can grow your own tea? Tea (Camellia sinensis) is an evergreen shrub native to China that can be grown outdoors in USDA zones 7-9. For those in cooler zones, consider growing tea plants in pots. Camellia sinensis makes an excellent container grown tea plant as it is a smaller shrub that when contained will only reach a height of about 6 feet (under 2 meters). Read on to find out about growing tea at home and tea plant container care.[图片]About Growing Tea at Home Tea is grown in 45 countries and is worth billions of dollars to the world’s economy annually. While tea plants are adapted to tropical areas and lowland areas of the subtropics, growing tea plants in pots allows the gardener to control temperatures. Although tea plants are hardy and will generally survive to just under freezing temperatures, they may still be damaged or killed. This means that in cooler climates, tea lovers can grow plants inside provided they give plenty of light and warm temps. Tea plant harvesting is done in the spring with the new flush of leaves. Only the young green leaves are used to make tea. Winter pruning will not only keep the plant a manageable size for containers, but engender a new burst of young leaves.[图片]Tea Plant Container Care Container grown tea plants should be planted in a pot with plenty of drainage holes, that is 2 times the size of the root ball. Fill the bottom third of the pot with well-draining, acidic potting soil. Place the tea plant atop the soil and fill in around it with more soil, leaving the crown of the plant just above the soil. Place the plant in an area with bright, indirect light and with temperatures about 70 F. (21 C.). Keep the plant well watered but do not allow the roots to become water logged. Water until the water runs out of the drainage holes. Allow the soil to drain and don’t let the container sit in water. Let the top few inches of soil dry between watering.[图片]Fertilize the container grown tea plant during its active growing season, from spring through fall. At this time, apply an acidic plant fertilizer every 3 weeks, diluted to half the strength according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Prune the tea plant yearly after it blooms. Also remove any dead or damaged branches. To restrict the height of the plant and/or to facilitate new growth, prune the shrub back by about half its height. If the roots begin to outgrow the container, repot the plant into a larger container or trim the roots to fit the pot. Repot as needed, usually every 2-4 years.

I use my home grown herbs in teas to soothe my stomach, ease headaches, and treat a myriad of other symptoms, but I love my black tea and green tea as well. This made me wonder about growing and harvesting my own tea plants.[图片]About Harvesting Tea Plants Billions of people count on a cup of soothing tea each and every day, but probably most of those billions have no idea what their tea is made of. Sure, they may get the idea that tea is made from, well, leaves of course, but what type of leaves? Camellia sinensis produces almost all of the world’s teas from black to oolong to white and green. Camellias are popular garden specimens chosen for their lively color in the winter and fall when little else is in bloom. These are different cultivars than those grown for tea. Camellia sinensis can be grown in sunny to partially shaded areas in USDA zones 7-9. Allowed to grow unmolested, the plant grows naturally into a large shrub or small tree or it can be pruned to a height of about 3 feet (.9 m.) to make tea plant harvesting easier and to promote new growth.[图片]When to Harvest Tea Plants C. sinensis is very hardy and can survive temperatures as low as 0 F. (-18 C.) but cooler temperatures will cause the plant to grow more slowly and/or become dormant. It takes about 2 years before the plant is mature enough for tea plant harvesting, and about 5 years for the plant to really become a tea leaf producer. So when can you harvest tea plants? Only the young, tender leaves and buds are used for tea. That’s why you should prune the plant: to facilitate new growth. Prune the tips of the plant in the late winter. Harvesting of tea plants can commence in the spring as the plants begin to leaf out. Once the new shoots appear at the tips of the pruned branches, allow them to grow until 2-4 are unfurling. At this point you’re ready to learn how to harvest Camellia sinensis.[图片]How to Harvest Camellia sinensis The secret to making great green tea is to harvest just the top two new leaves and leaf bud on the new spring growth. Even commercially, harvesting is still done by hand since machinery can damage the tender leaves. Once the leaves are plucked, they are spread in a thin layer on a tray and then left to dry in the sun. You can harvest tea every 7-15 days depending upon the development of the tender shoots. Different processes are used to produce black teas which are usually harvested in July and August when temperatures are at their peak. To utilize your tea leaves, steam them for 1-2 minutes and then immediately run under cold water to stop the cooking process (this is called shocking) and to allow them to retain their vibrant green color. Then roll the soft leaves between your hands or with a sushi mat into tubes. Once the tea leaves are rolled into tubes, place them in an oven safe dish and bake them at 215 F. (102 C.) for 10-12 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes. The tea is ready when the leaves are completely dried. Allow them to cool and then store them in a sealed glass container.

Tansy is an herbaceous perennial plant, often deemed as a weed. Tansy plants are common in the United States, particularly temperate regions. The scientific name for common tansy, Tanacetum vulgare, may be an assertion to its toxic properties and invasive nature. If you are wondering, “what is tansy,” you have probably seen it frequently. Tansy plants are found growing wild in meadows, roadsides, ditches and other natural areas. The weedy herb is also an attractive flowering addition to a cottage or wildflower garden, but watch out or the plant will spread to unwanted areas. Keep an eye on the plant and learn methods on how to keep tansy from taking over the garden.[图片]Common Tansy (Tanacetum Vulgare) What is tansy? The plant may get three to four feet tall and sports button-like yellow flowers on top of stiff stems. The leaves are ferny and alternate on reddish purple stems. The flowers grow in clusters and are from ¼ to ½ inch in diameter. Common tansy plants reproduce prolifically from seed or rhizomes. Using tansy in landscaping borders with other flowers combines its ease of care with the sunny blooms for an upbeat perennial plant. Tansy plants need little supplemental care, other than the occasional watering. Their hardiness means they thrive in most areas of the country but they can become a nuisance if not managed carefully. You should probably not plant tansy in most areas of the United States. It is a noxious weed in 45 of the States and can push out natural vegetation. If you already have the plant and like its appearance, allow it to reseed in a controlled area. Let’s learn more about the control of tansy plants.[图片]How to Keep Tansy from Taking Over Tansy is a Class C noxious weed in parts of the western states. The plants were originally introduced as decorative flowers and then became “naturalized” in the U.S. The plant was once an important part of herb gardens and used to treat colds and fevers. Crushed seeds emit a strong odor and the oil has powerful properties, which may become toxic if ingested in large quantities. Tansy will spread quickly from its seed and less invasively from rhizomes. The seed is viable in soil for quite some time, so it is best to cut off the flower heads before they turn into seeds.[图片]Where you have tansy in landscaping, use cultivation practices to prevent spread. Dig out clumps of the plant where you do not wish to have it and keep old plant matter cleaned up to prevent self-seeding. Hand pulling the plants as you would pull weeds can prevent the plant from spreading. You should do this with gloves, as there have been some reports of contact toxicity. It is unlikely to be toxic to grazing animals, but minimize the spread by mowing areas with the plant when they are in bud stage.

Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is a European perennial herb that was once used heavily in natural medicine. It has become naturalized in many parts of North America and is even considered a noxious weed in areas like Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Washington State. Despite this, tansy is a pretty little plant that adds potassium to soil while repelling several annoying insect species. Once you have tansy seeds, however, learning how to grow tansy will be the least of your problems. This plant is a prolific re-seeder and can become quite a nuisance in some gardens.[图片]Tansy Plant Info The herb garden was the center of the home in the Middle Ages and eras prior. Today’s tansy uses in the garden are much more limited due to modern pharmaceuticals and different tastes over the years. However, this forgotten herb provides ornamental appeal and still packs all the medicinal and culinary wallop of the past. It is up to us to rediscover the healthy, natural tricks of our ancestors and decide for ourselves if herbal lore is useful to us today or simply an attractive addition to the perennial garden. Tansy herb plants are easy to grow and have lovely flowers and foliage. They are rhizomatous perennial members of the Daisy family and may achieve 3 to 4 feet in height. The foliage is attractive with delicate fern-like leaves; however, they smell rather strongly and are not an aromatic delight. Tiny yellow button-like blooms appear in late summer into fall. Unlike most daisy members, the flowers lack ray petals and are instead discs of less than 3/4 of an inch in width. These are the source of the seeds, which have become a nuisance in many northwest gardens. Numerous fine seeds are produced on the numerous flower heads and readily germinate and start new plants. If any tansy plant info is taken away from this reading, it should be the importance of deadheading to prevent a rampant takeover of the plant in your garden.[图片]How to Grow Tansy Herbs In areas where the plants are a nuisance, growing tansy herbs may not be the best idea unless you are up for constant deadheading or can contain the plant in another manner. That being said, tansy herb plants are unfussy, reliable perennials that thrive in any area with at least 6 hours of sunlight. This makes them perfect for either full or partial sun locations. Once established, tansy is drought tolerant and thrives in a variety of soils. In early spring, cut plants back to within a few inches of the ground to force compact growth and a clean appearance. If growing tansy herbs from seed, plant in fall in well worked soil to allow seed to experience cold stratification.[图片]Tansy Uses in the Garden Tansy makes an excellent companion plant for many types of vegetables, as it contains compounds which repel certain insect pests. It has a camphor-like scent that not only sends insects running, but also has uses in killing parasites internally in both humans and animals. Tansy adds potassium to the soil, one of the macro-nutrients all plants require for good health. Use it in kitchen herb containers to flavor stews, salads, omelets and more. It is also lovely when added amongst other herbs, both for the little flowers and the elegant feathery foliage. In years gone by, tansy was also used as a natural textile dye. Tansy herb plants also make fine additions to everlasting bouquets, as the flower heads dry easily and hold both shape and color.

Sugarcane plants are a genus of tall tropically growing perennial grasses from the family Poaceae. These fibrous stalks, rich in sugar, cannot survive in areas with cold winters. So, how then do you grow them? Let’s find out how to grow sugarcanes.[图片]Sugarcane Plant Info A tropical grass native to Asia, sugarcane plants have been grown for over 4,000 years. Their first use was as a “chewing cane” in Melanesia, probably in New Guinea, from the indigenous strain Saccharum robustum. Sugarcane was then introduced into Indonesia and the farther reaches of the Pacific via the early Pacific islanders. During the sixteenth century, Christopher Columbus brought sugarcane plants to the West Indies and eventually the indigenous strain evolved into Saccharum officinarum and other varieties of sugarcane. Today, four species of sugarcane are interbred to create the giant canes grown for commercial manufacturing and account for about 75 percent of the world’s sugar. Growing sugarcane plants was at one time a huge cash crop for areas of the Pacific but is now more often grown for bio-fuel in the American and Asian tropics. Growing sugarcanes in Brazil, the highest producer of sugarcane, is quite lucrative as a high proportion of fuel for cars and trucks there is ethanol processed from sugarcane plants. Unfortunately, growing sugarcanes has caused significant environmental damage to areas of grasslands and forests as sugarcane plant fields replace natural habitats. Growing sugarcanes encompasses about 200 countries which produce 1,324.6 million tons of refined sugar, six times that of sugar beet production. Growing sugarcanes is not solely produced for sugar and bio-fuel, however. Sugarcane plants are also grown for molasses, rum, soda and cachaca, Brazilian’s national spirit. The remnants of sugarcane post pressing are called bagasse and are useful as a source of burnable fuel for heat and electricity.[图片]How to Grow Sugarcanes To grow sugarcanes, one must reside in a tropical climate such as Hawaii, Florida and Louisiana. Sugarcane is grown in limited quantities in Texas and a few other Gulf Coast states as well. As sugarcanes are all hybrids, sugarcane planting is done using stalks garnered from a favorable species mother plant. These in turn sprout, creating clones which are genetically identical to the mother plant. Because the sugarcane plants are multi-species, using seeds for propagation would result in plants that differ from the mother plant; hence, vegetative propagation is utilized. Although interest in developing machinery to reduce labor costs has taken hold, generally speaking, hand planting takes place from late August to January.[图片]Sugarcane Care Sugarcane plant fields are replanted every two to four years. After the first year’s harvest, the second round of stalks, called a ratoon, begins to grow from the old. After each harvest of the sugarcane, the field is burned off until such time as production levels decline. At that time, the field will be plowed under and the ground prepared for a new crop of sugarcane plants. Sugarcane care is accomplished with cultivation and herbicides to control weeds in the plantation. Supplemental fertilization is often needed for optimal growth of the sugarcane plants. Water may occasionally be pumped from the field after heavy rains, and in turn, may be pumped back in during drier seasons.

Stevia is a buzzword these days, and this is probably not the first place you’ve read about it. A natural sweetener with essentially no calories, it’s popular with people interested in both weight loss and natural eating. But exactly what is stevia? Keep reading for stevia plant information.[图片]Stevia Plant Information Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a nondescript looking leafy plant reaching 2-3 feet (.6-.9 m.) in height. It is native to Paraguay, where it’s been used for centuries, possibly millennia, as a sweetener. Stevia leaves contain molecules called glycosides, essentially molecules with sugar attached to them, making the leaves taste sweet. The human body, however, cannot break apart the glycosides, meaning they have no calories when consumed by humans. It is used as a food additive in many countries, accounting for 40 percent of Japan’s sweetening additives. It was banned as an additive in the United States for over a decade due to possible health risks, however, and only in 2008 was allowed again.[图片]Stevia Plant Growing Stevia has been declared safe by the FDA and has been used continuously internationally, so there’s no reason not to grow your own plant as a home sweetener and great conversation piece. Stevia is a perennial in USDA growing zones 9 and warmer. The roots may survive in zone 8 with protection, but in colder areas it will grow very well in a container brought indoors for the winter. It can also be treated as an annual outdoors. Stevia plant care is not too intensive — place it in loose, well-drained soil in full sun and water frequently but shallowly.[图片]How to Use Stevia Plants in the Garden You can harvest your stevia plant to use as your own natural sweetener. While you can harvest the leaves and use them throughout the summer, they’re at their sweetest in autumn, just as they’re getting ready to flower. Pick the leaves (all of them if you’re treating it as an annual) and dry them by placing them on a clean cloth in the sun for an afternoon. Save the leaves whole or crush them into a powder in the food processor and store them in an airtight container.

Stevia is an attractive herbaceous plant that belongs to the sunflower family. Native to South America, stevia is often known as “sweetleaf” for its intensely sweet leaves, used to flavor teas and other beverages for centuries. In recent years, stevia has become popular in the United States, valued for its ability to sweeten food naturally without raising blood sugar or adding calories. Growing stevia isn’t difficult, but overwintering stevia plants can present challenges, especially in northern climates.[图片]Stevia Winter Plant Care Growing stevia or stevia planting in winter isn’t an option for gardeners in cool climates. However, if you live in USDA plant hardiness zone 8, stevia usually survives the winter with a thick layer of mulch to protect the roots. If you live in a warm climate (zone 9 or above), growing stevia plants in winter is not a problem and the plants require no protection.[图片]Can Stevia Be Grown Over Winter? Overwintering stevia plants indoors is necessary in colder regions. If you live in a cooler climate north of zone 9, bring stevia indoors before the first frost in autumn. Trim the plant to a height of about 6 inches, then move it to a pot with a drainage hole, using a good quality commercial potting mix. You may be able to grow stevia on a sunny windowsill, but without adequate light, the plant is likely to become spindly and less productive. Most plants perform better under fluorescent lights. Stevia prefers room temperatures above 70 F. (21 C.). Snip the leaves for use as needed.[图片]Move the plant back outdoors when you’re sure all danger of frost has passed in spring. If you’ve never grown stevia, it is usually available at greenhouses or nurseries specializing in herbal plants. You can also plant seeds, but germination tends to be slow, difficult and undependable. Additionally, leaves grown from seed may not be as sweet. Stevia plants often decline after the second year, but it’s easy to propagate new plants from healthy, mature stevia.

Spilanthes toothache plant is a lesser known flowering annual native to the tropics. Known technically as either Spilanthes oleracea or Acmella oleracea, its whimsical common name is garnered from the antiseptic properties of Spilanthes toothache plant.[图片]About Spilanthes The toothache plant is also known as eyeball plant and peek-a-boo plant in reference to its alien looking flowers. Resembling something akin to a daisy at first, upon closer inspection the blooms of Spilanthes toothache plant are shaped like yellow 1-inch olives with a shocking deep red center — very much like those of a large mammal. Toothache plant is a member of the Asteraceae family, which includes asters, daisies and cornflowers, but with a truly unique flower and memorable numbing effect when ingested. Spilanthes plantings bloom from mid June through September and are wonderful additions to border gardens, as accent plants or container vegetation with their bronze hued foliage and eye-popping blooms. Growing only about 12 to 15 inches tall and 18 inches across, Spilanthes plantings complement other plants with yellow and red blooms or even foliage such as coleus varietals.[图片]How to Grow Spilanthes Spilanthes toothache plant is generally propagated via seed and is suitable for cultivation in USDA zones 9-11. Toothache plant is quite easy to grow and is resistant to disease, insects and even our rabbit friends. So, how to grow spilanthes is as simple as sowing in full sun to partial shade 10 to 12 inches apart. Keep the soil moderately moist as the plant dislikes saturated or boggy ground and stem rot or general poor growth is likely.[图片]Spilanthes Herb Care Spilanthes herb care is straightforward as long as over-watering is avoided and spring and summer temperatures are adequate. Spilanthes toothache plant is native to tropical climes, so it does not respond well to cold temperatures and is not tolerant of frost. Uses for Spilanthes Herb Spilanthes is an herb used in folk medicine throughout India. Of primary medicinal use are the roots and flowers of toothache plant. Chewing on the blooms of the toothache plant causes a local anesthetic effect and has been used to temporarily ease the pain of, yes, you guessed it — toothaches. Spilanthes flowers have also been utilized as a urinary antiseptic and even as a treatment for malaria by the indigenous people of the tropics. The active ingredient in Spilanthes is called Spilanthol. Spilanthol is an antiseptic alkaloid found throughout the entire plant but with the greatest amounts located in the flowers.

Did you know there’s a perennial plant called soapwort (Saponaria officinalis) that actually got its name from the fact that it can be made into soap? Also known as bouncing Bet (which was once a nickname for a washerwoman), this interesting herb is easy to grow in the garden.[图片]The Perennial Plant Called Soapwort Going back to the early settlers, soapwort plant was commonly grown and used as detergent and soap. It can grow anywhere between 1 to 3 feet high and since it self-sows readily, soapwort can be used as a ground cover in suitable areas. The plant typically grows in colonies, blooming from midsummer to fall. The flower clusters are pale pink to white and lightly scented. Butterflies are often attracted by them as well. How to Grow Soapwort Growing soapwort is easy and the plant makes a good addition to empty beds, woodland edges, or rock gardens. Soapwort seeds can be started indoors in late winter with young transplants set out in the garden after the last frost in spring. Otherwise, they can be sown directly in the garden in spring. Germination takes about three weeks, give or take. Soapwort plants thrive in full sun to light shade and will tolerate nearly any soil type provided that it is well draining. Plants should be spaced at least a foot apart.[图片]Caring for Soapwort Groundcover While it can withstand some neglect, it’s always a good idea to keep the plant watered well during summer, especially in dry conditions. Deadheading can often bring about additional blooming. It’s also necessary to keep soapwort from becoming too invasive, though keeping some blooms intact for self-seeding won’t hurt anything. If desired, you can cut the plant back after blooming. It overwinters easily with a layer of mulch added, especially in cooler regions (hardy to USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 3).[图片]Homemade Soapwort Detergent The saponin properties found in soapwort plant are responsible for creating the bubbles that produce soap. You can easily make your own liquid soap simply by taking about twelve leafy stems and adding them to a pint of water. This is usually boiled for about 30 minutes and then cooled and strained. Alternatively, you can start out with this small, easy recipe using only a cup of crushed, loosely packed soapwort leaves and 3 cups of boiling water. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes on low heat. Allow to cool and then strain.

What are benne seeds? Chances are, you already know about benne seeds, which are more commonly known as sesame seeds. Benne is an ancient plant with a recorded history of at least 4,000 years. The seeds were highly valued during Colonial times, but in spite of its nutritional benefits, benne hasn’t gained a following as a food crop in the United States. Today, benne seeds are grown in Texas and a few other Southwestern states, but most often, the seeds are imported from China or India.[图片]Benne Seeds vs. Sesame Seeds Is there a difference between benne seeds and sesame seeds? Not a bit. Benne is simply the African name for sesame (Sesamum indicum). In fact, many plant historians believe benne was brought to the New World in slave ships. The name is largely a regional preference and sesame seeds are still known as benne in certain areas of the Deep South. Benne Health Benefits Sesame seeds are a great source of minerals, including copper, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, zinc and selenium. They are also rich in vitamin B and E and protein, and the high fiber content makes them an effective treatment for constipation. Benne health benefits also include the oil, which is healthy for the heart and also used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including sunburn.[图片]Sesame Plant Info – Growing Benne Seeds Sesame plant is a drought tolerant annual that can reach heights of two to six feet, depending on plant variety and growing conditions. White or pale pink, bell-shaped flowers bloom for several weeks during the summer. Sesame plants grow in most soil types, but they thrive in fertile soil with a neutral pH. Well-drained soil is a requirement, as sesame plants don’t tolerant soggy growing conditions. Full sunlight is best for growing benne seeds. Sesame (benne) seeds for planting are often sold by seed companies that specialize in heirloom plants. Start benne seeds indoors about a month before the last expected frost. Plant the seeds in small pots, covered with about ¼-inch of a good quality, lightweight potting mix. Keep the potting mix moist and watch for seeds to germinate in a couple of weeks. Transplant sesame plants outdoors after temperatures have reached 60 to 70 F. (16-21 C.).[图片]Alternatively, plant sesame seeds directly in the garden, in moist soil, after you’re sure all frost danger has passed.
