Tolerates poor soils. Remove seed heads promptly after bloom to prevent self-seeding. This plant is a biennial that can be grown as an annual. For growth as a biennial, sow seed directly in the garden from May to August (flowers will not appear until the second year). For growth as an annual, sow seed indoors in March for planting outside at last spring frost date (flowers will appear in late summer followed by seed). Flowering plants may spread by self-seeding unless flowers are promptly deadheaded after bloom. Noteworthy CharacteristicsSilybum marianum, commonly called blessed thistle or milk thistle, is a rosette-forming biennial that is native to the Mediterranean region (southern Europe, western Asia and northern Africa). It has naturalized in parts of Europe, North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand. It is an invasive self-seeder in some locations (Class A noxious weed in the State of Washington). In the first year, a showy rosette of deeply lobed, obovate, spiny green leaves (to 20″ long) with distinctive white marbling appears. Leaves and stems exude a milky sap when cut, hence the common name of milk thistle. In the second year, a strong flower stalk rises from the foliage rosette to 3-5′ tall bearing thistle-like, mildly-scented, purple-pink flower heads (2″ across) subtended by spiny bracts. Flowers are followed by seed as the plant completes its biennial (sometimes annual) life. An extract (silymarin) from the seeds of this plant has been used for many years in the treatment of a variety of medical problems including liver disorders, gall bladder disorders, high cholesterol and mushroom poisoning (especially from Amanita phalloides – death cap mushrooms). Genus name comes from the Greek name silybon for some thistle-like plant.

The genus name Artemisia reflects the name of the Greek goddess Artemis, the protectress of mothers in childbirth. The epithet “absinthium” comprises the Greek “apsinthion” (= wormwood). It is unsure, however, whether this term came from the Greek “a” (= no) and “psinthos” (= pleasure), which would be entirely justified, because the leaves are very bitter. It also remains open whether the name “wormwood” is made from “warm” or “worm” as its use as a vermifuge is in the name. The shrub of up to 1m high bears very characteristic 2 – to 3-fold pinnatipartite leaves with very narrow leaflets, densely hairy on both sides with white-silky hairs. The small, globular yellow flower heads are arranged in panicles. Flowering time is July to September. When rubbed, the herb releases a very aromatic scent through the ial oil it contains.Medicinally used plant parts The blossoming upper branch tips with their characteristic, very aromatic scent are used.

500 Long Island Brussel Sprout Seeds – HUGE Yields!
Long Island is the most common and widely adapted open pollinated Brussel Sprout variety for the home vegetable garden! Compact plants grow up to 24 inches tall and produce massive amounts of tight, tender heads that average 1 1/2″ in diameter. Relative maturity is 100 days from sowing. Historians believe that the ancient Romans first cultivated Brussels sprouts, but Belgium has the greatest claim on this tiny vegetable. As the name indicates, Brussels sprouts grew in great abundance around the city of Brussels. Since the 1900s, growers in California has produced most of the United States’ supply of this vegetable; Long Island Improved in particular is a favorite variety of commercial growers.Sowing: Since frost brings out the best flavor in brussels sprouts, plant them late in May or early in June for a fall crop. Start Long Island Improved Brussels sprouts seeds by planting them 1/2″ deep in soil; when they grow to 6″ tall, transplant or thin them 2′ apart. Compress the soil around the seed and keep the ground moist.Growing: Mulch to preserve the moisture in the soil. Remove weeds carefully to avoid disturbing the plants. If heavy winds threaten the plant, provide a stake for support. As the leaves on the stem turn yellow, take them off so that the sprouts can freely develop. If aphids appear, eliminate them with a strong stream of water from a hose.Harvesting: About four months after transplanting, the first sprouts should be ready. Twist them off the stem from the bottom up; sprouts about 1″ in diameter are the most tender. To continue harvesting sprouts after frost, hang the entire plant upside down in a cool place; sprouts will continue to mature for a few more weeks. Long Island Improved sprouts freeze quite well.
