CHIVES GARLIC Herb Garden Culinary Perennial Sauces & Dips Non-GMO 200 SeedsFresh, Pure Seed – No FillersPRODUCT DESCRIPTIONAllium tuberosumGarlic Chive seeds produce white flowers that are attractive in your herb garden! The thin flat leaves have a sweet garlic flavor and can be added to items like sauces, dips, salads, and steamed vegetables. Seed stems are also harvested and used in Asian dishes. This herb is moderately hardy.Originating in western China, garlic chives (Allium tuberosum) have been used in Asian cuisine for thousands of years. Unlike the traditional tubular leaves of regular chives, garlic chives have flat, narrow blades; some gardeners blanch their garlic chives, causing them to develop a pale yellow color. Traditional pad Thai, Chinese jiaozi, and various Korean dishes such as buchukimchi often contain garlic chives; they also make a popular addition to stir fries, soups, and dishes with eggs or fish. The delicately garlic scented leaves of Allium tuberosum are often used more as a vegetable than an herb, and may also substitute for standard chives. Garlic chives provide abundant vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, calcium, and iron.FAST FACTSCommon Names: Oriental Garlic, Asian Chives, Chinese Chives, Chinese LeekLatin Name: Allium tuberosumType: Open Pollinated, Heirloom, Cool Season|Warm SeasonLife Cycle: PerennialUSDA Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9Planting Method: Direct SowSunlight: Full Sun, Part SunHeight: 14 InchesColor: GreenBloom Season: Blooms Late Summer, Blooms Early FallUses: Attracts Butterflies, Aromatic HOW TO GROWSowing: Garlic chive seeds grow well in a variety of soil types, though they prefer moist, well drained soil and full sun or partial shade. In short growing seasons, the seed can be started indoors in a flat; provide bottom heat for fastest germination. To direct sow, plant the garlic chive seeds after the last frost of spring 1/4″ deep in rows 18″ apart, thinning to 6-8″ apart as soon as the seedlings appear. Germination should take place within 14 days. Garlic chives also grow well as a container plant. For companion planting benefits, plant garlic chives with carrots; this improves the carrots’ flavor and production.Growing: Keep the soil moist while the seedlings are developing. Garlic chives will spread vigorously with each year of growth, and can easily be divided for new plantings. To prevent the plant from reseeding itself, be sure to remove the developing seed heads and keep the plant trimmed. To blanch the developing leaves, cover the plant with a thick layer of straw. After several frosts, cut the plant down to the ground.Harvesting: The first year of their planting, garlic chives should not be harvested to ensure their strong development. In the second year of their growth, harvest garlic chives at any time after they reach a length of 6″, cutting them 1/2″ above the soil with a sharp knife or scissors. Frequent cutting actually improves production, since this signals new growth; the growth of the flowers causes the leaf growth to slow down dramatically. The leaves keep in the refrigerator for about a week; they can also be frozen, but lose all flavor when dried. The leaves should be added to hot dishes at the last minute, since they soon lose their flavor with heat. The strong onion-flavored buds and flowers are also edible and make wonderful garnishes.

OREGANO ITALIAN Mediterranean Medicinal Culinary Pizza Herb Non-GMO 1000 Seeds!
OREGANO ITALIAN Mediterranean Medicinal Herb Culinary Pizza Herb Non-GMO 1000 SeedsFresh, Pure Seed – No FillersPRODUCT DESCRIPTIONOriganum vulgareVulgare Oregano is the very popular “pizza herb” that is widely used in Italian, Greek and Mexican cooking. The leaves can be used fresh or dried and will add warm spicy flavor to your favorite recipes. This herb has bright blue-green leaves that should be harvested before the flowers appear.Oregano grows wild on the sunny hillsides of the Mediterranean, and is often featured in the cuisine of that region. The Latin word for this herb comes from the Greek phrase, “joy of the mountains”. According to ancient mythology, the Greek goddess of love gave oregano to man to bring him joy; tradition continues to associate oregano with joy and banishment of sorrow, bringing about the practice of crowning a bride with a wreath of oregano. For centuries, this plant has been used both for culinary and medicinal purposes; the fresh leaves were chewed for the relief of toothache, indigestion, or a lingering cough, and even the flowers were turned into a soft purple dye. In spite of its popularity in Europe, Americans did not fully discover oregano until after World War II, when returning soldiers and immigrants brought with them an enthusiasm for its flavor. Recent scientific research has found that the oil of oregano has significant antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral effects, whether used externally or internally.FAST FACTSCommon Names: OreganoLatin Name: Origanum vulgareSpecies Origin: Mediterranean, EurasiaType: Open Pollinated, Heirloom, Warm SeasonLife Cycle: PerennialUSDA Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12Planting Method: From TransplantSunlight: Full Sun, Part SunHeight: 24 InchesColor: GreenBloom Season: Blooms Early Summer, Blooms Late SummerUses: Attracts Butterflies, Aromatic HOW TO GROWSowing: Start Italian Oregano Herb seeds indoors about 2 months before the last spring frost, sowing them just below the surface of the soil and keeping the temperature at 65-70 degrees F. Provide at least six hours of sunlight, and keep the soil moist when the seedlings appear. Transplant them as soon as they grow big enough to handle or after the last chance of frost, spacing them 12-15″ apart. Oregano thrives in fairly dry soil and full sun. To direct sow, plant Origanum Vulgare seeds and thin the seedlings to 12-15″ apart. As a companion plant, Oregano repels the harmful cabbage butterfly. This herb also grows well as a container plant.Growing: Oregano actually has the most flavorful taste if left alone, with minimal watering and no fertilization. For the best tasting leaves, keep the tops pruned to prevent flowering and to keep the leaves tender.Harvesting: Fresh leaves can be harvested as soon as the plant reaches a height of 6″. The best time for harvesting leaves is in the morning after the dew has dried. Harvest entire stalks by cutting them at least 1″ above the ground to allow for new growth. Fresh leaves will keep in the refrigerator for about five days, but can also be frozen or dried. Because heat tends to destroy the flavor of oregano, it should be added to hot food immediately before serving. Unlike most herbs, dried oregano leaves tend to have a much stronger flavor than fresh ones.Seed Saving: Harvest Italian Oregano Herb seed heads individually as soon as they begin to turn brown and dry, and spread them out to finish drying in a protected location out of direct sunlight. Thresh out Origanum Vulgare seeds by rubbing or shaking the heads, and remove as much chaff as possible. Store Italian Oregano Herb seeds in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.WE SHIP FAST & FREE!
