Crush the leaves to release the amazing scent of this plant! The leaves can be used to flavour cooked dishes and drinks. It is also a great pollinator attractor, so plant it with your veggies.
As it is a member of the mint family (= red flag= exuberant growth) it is best planted in a container.
$4 each or 3 for $10 (save $2!)
Type: Perennial herb (short lived- 3-4 years)
Height: 20"
Light: Full sun to very light shade- sun= more flavour
Soil: rich, free draining soil. Water well and frequently until established.
Planting: Space them 8-12 inches apart to give them room to grow nice and bushy. Harden off* before planting outdoors.
* Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors! Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements! Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards. First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun. Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!
Harvest/ Care: Pinch off leaves and use. Lemon Balm can be cut back and will regrow.
This architectural plant is absolutely stunning at all stages, from the moment it pokes its feathery head out in the spring to the yellow-tipped flower umbels in the fall.
We grow Bronze Fennel in our food garden for the delicious anise-tasting leaves and seeds, but also as an incredible pollinator magnet that increases biodiversity. It's a host plant for several swallowtail butterfly species, including Anise Swallowtail and Eastern Black Swallowtail, while its nectar is an important food source for many types of bees and wasps. We've also spotted Ruby Throated Hummingbirds paying a visit!
The leaves of Bronze Fennel are delicious fresh in salads, and can be dried for seasoning. All parts of the plant, including the seeds, make a delicious and soothing tea.
NOTE: This a perennial plant with roots, not the bulb-forming fennel veggie you may be more familiar with.

I will never have a food garden without Borage. This stunning herb has unique blue-purple star-shaped flowers that pollinators - especially bumble bees - absolutely crawl over all season long.
Every part of this plant is edible! It has a mild, cucumber-like taste that's delicious in salads and beverage garnishes. I dry the flower heads for bath salts, soap making + crafts, and when frozen in ice cubes, Borage makes a whimsical addition to drinks.

Notes: I learned the hard way that sunflowers are allelopathic, meaning they give off toxins that impede the growth of or even kill other plants. They also deplete soil of nutrients. Because I grow so much food in containers, I now grow my sunflowers in separate pots and place them near their fruit, veg and herb companions
