22 Vegetable Herbs Herbal garden A garden without herbs is unimaginable. These aromatic plants are necessary for mixed crops (they influence better growth and better taste of the vegetables), protection against pests and diseases, as well as for a better appearance of our garden. We all use them when cooking healthy and tasty dishes because all herbs, even those known particularly as being aromatic plants, have therapeutic effects. Dishes enriched with herbs have, besides the improved taste, a relieving effect on our stomach, digestion, blood circulation, and nerves. Kitchen herbs can also be cultivated at home in small pots, boxes, so that there are always some fresh at hand. They need a bright, not too hot space, moist air and soil rich in organic substances (e.g., compost). In the summer, they must be placed outside in the open air (balcony, terrace) so that they can enjoy plenty of oxygen and light. 1079 - Borage (Borago officinalis) A annual “cucumber herb” containing slimy substances, tannic acid, saponins and silicic acid. Young, velvety, soft leaves and sky blue flowers are used for salads and meat. The whole plant is covered with prickly white hairs; therefore, it is coarse to the touch. Borage grows in almost any soil; it often sows itself. It protects cabbages against pests and is a good neighbour for zucchini. 1070 - Rocket (Eruca sativa) Rocket should be sown from April to August, so we have a supply of fresh, tasty leaves from spring to autumn. Rocket grows up to 40 cm tall. Continuously cut the leaves, as with parsley. An aromatic plant with a special flavour suitable for various salads and side dishes. 1076 - Basil “Genovese” (Ocimum basilicum) Annual, requiring plenty of warmth. Pick fresh leaves all year (basil can also be grown in pots), and use with vegetables, salads, soups, meat, fish and tomato sauces. Goes well in the garden with tomato and cucumber. 1077 - Red leaf Basil Rubin (Ocimum basilicum »Rubrum«) It has intense crimson leaves, grows fast, smells nice and is very aromatic! Fresh leaves are plucked the whole year. They can be added to rice, vegetables, salads, soups, meat, fish and tomato sauces. It is also grown in pots! 1094 - Marjoram (Majorana hortensis) Can be grown all year in pots. Annual plant that forms shrubs. Pick fresh stalk tips and leaves. Keeps its strong sweet and spicy aroma even when dry! Perfect accompaniment to roast goose, minced meat, potato dishes, stews and tomatoes. Helps to ward off insects in the garden. 1108 - Savory (Saturea hortensis) It is grown in pots for the whole year (fresh leaves)! It is an annual plant which forms a bush. It is dried just prior to blooming. In the garden protects beans against lice and improves the taste of broad bean; therefore, it should always grow nearby. It is cooked in casseroles and potato dishes, and with beans. 1101 - Anise (Pimpinella anisum) A few seeds may also be sown with carrots. Annual culinary plant. When mature, the plant should be cut or plucked and dried. Mature dried seeds are used for pastry, sweets, teas and liqueurs. Anise, or fennel, is good for decorating the garden and is good for the bees! 1116 - Dill (Anetheum graveolens) Add fresh leaves to sauces and fish (do not cook) and to tomato, cucumber and green salads. Add flowers and seeds to gherkins for pickling. In the garden dill enhances the emergence of carrots, cucumbers, cabbage, beetroot, lettuce. 1118 - Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) This is a 30-cm-high annual plant. The flower heads are harvested between June and August and dried. It is a good neighbour to cabbage (improves its taste), po tatoes, celery and leeks. Garden vegetables can be watered with chamomile tea, because it strengthens them. SOWING OF HERBS Perennials They are over wintering herbs and last more years! They are sown from April until June into boxes. Later on, three seedlings are transplanted into 8 or 10-centimetre small pots. When the seedlings are big enough, they should be transplanted outdoor to a permanent place which has been selected for them in the garden bed. Annuals They are sown directly on the garden bed, from March until April. We can sow them before that time into boxes and when it gets warm enough, transplant the small plants into the garden bed. Annuals sensitive to cold They are sown into small pots or boxes in April and May, and transplanted into the open air from mid May onwards. We ca also sow directly outdoor end of May! MIXED CROPS If you want to cultivate a lot of healthy vegetables in your garden, try it with mixed crops. With mixed crops, there are various types of vegetables, herbs, and flowers growing on one garden bed. Our objective is a colourful, rich, and harmonious plant mixture. The advantages of mixed crops are not only in good mutual influences, but above all in a better use of garden beds and always having a great harvest. The advantages of mixed crops are: • various types of plants mutually stimulate each other in growing; • the combination of various types of vegetables and flowers prevents the attacks of pests and diseases; • due to simultaneous cultivation of plants with deep and shallow root systems, the soil is constantly being loosened; • the soil is covered through the whole year and there is less weed; • mixed crops stimulate life in the soil. Here are some simple rules considering mixed crops: • only those vegetables which are good neighbours and like each other’s company should be sown/ planted together; • on every empty spot on the garden bed, some other vegetable, flower or a mixture for “green fertilisation” should be sown/planted. katalog_ENG_20080221.indd 22 2/26/08 3:31:11 PM
