Thymus vulgaris - Thyme Common

Thyme Plant

Thymus vulgaris (common thyme, German thyme,garden thyme or just thyme) is a species of flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to Europe .
Growing to 15–30 cm tall by 40 cm wide, it is a bushy, woody-based evergreen subshrub with small, highly aromatic, grey-green leaves and clusters of purple or pink flowers in early summer.
It is useful in the garden as groundcover, also as an ingredient in cooking and as an herbal medicine. It is slightly more spicier than oregano and sweeter than sage.

Thyme Features:

Sun Exposure: Full Sun | Part Sun
Soil Type: Sandy | Loamy
Botanical Name: Thymus vulgaris
Plant Type: Herb
Planting Thyme

It's hard to grow thyme from seeds because of slow, uneven germination. It's easier to buy the plants or take some cuttings from a friend.


For a head start, plant the seeds/cuttings indoors 6 to 10 weeks before the last spring frost.


Plant the seeds/cuttings 2 to 3 weeks before the last spring frost in well-drained soil about 9 inches apart. For best growth, the soil should be about 70ºF.


The plants should grow 6 to 12 inches in height.


In the garden, plant thyme near cabbage.

Care

Water normally and remember to trim the plants.


Prune the plants back in the spring and summer to contain the growth. You can take some cuttings and plant them indoors in pots, too.


If you have cold winters, remember to lightly mulch around the plants after the ground freezes.

Strongly aromatic, caraway is a member of parsley or Umbelliferae family; a large family of herbs that also includes commonly known herbs and spices such as dill, anise, fennel, cumin, etc.

Desert Willow ( Chilopsis linearis )

BOTANICAL NAME
Chilopsis linearis
COMMON NAMES
Desert Willow, Desert Catalpa, Flowering Willow, False Willow, Jano

Desert Willow

The desert willow is a little tree that adds color and fragrance to your backyard; provides summer shade; and attracts birds, hummingbirds and bees. The long, slender leaves make you think of willow, but once you learn some desert willow tree facts, you’ll see that it is not in the willow family at all.
Although its name indicates otherwise, this 10- to 15-foot shrub is not a true willow; rather, it belongs to the trumpet-creeper (Campsis radicans) family and it was named for its willow-like foliage. It blooms with large, trumpet-shaped flowers from the beginning of summer through the first frost and it is easily grown from seed.

Grow a Desert Willow

Desert Willow is drought-tolerant, and can be found growing naturally along our ephemeral streambeds or washes, where it offers natural protection against flood and erosion damage.
The seeds in the long, thin pods grow so readily that the tree is considered invasive in some areas. Planting desert willow trees from cuttings is also possible.
One of the most interesting desert willow tree facts is that the seeds establish themselves in newly deposited river sediments after seasonal flowing. The young trees trap and hold soil sediment as their roots grow, creating islands.
When you are trying to figure out how to grow a desert willow, remember that the tree is native to the desert. Choose a planting location with full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Desert willow prefers limestone soil, but also grows well in rocky, caliches, loam, sandy and granitic soil, with minimal need for you to add any organic matter to the soil. This low-water plant tolerates dry conditions and has a high drought tolerance. Allowing it to dry out between watering it helps encourage continual blooming.

MEDICINAL USES

The Desert Willow's flowers, leaves and bark have all been used in hot poultices and as a soothing tea for coughs. Other known uses were as treatments to guard against yeast infections, athlete's foot and as first aid for scrapes and scratches. Tea (from the flowers) produces a natural anti-oxidant, which promotes cardiovascular health and regulates glucose metabolism.

Greater Celandine ( Chelidonium majus )

It is one of the twenty-four herbs mentioned in Mercer's Herbal.



Botical Chelidonium majus
English Greater Celandine
Swallow Wort, Celandine,tetterwort,nipplewort

Characteristics of Chelidonium majus

Chelidonium majus is commonly known as greater celandine, wartweed and swallowwart, native to rocky slopes, woodlands, waste areas and along roads in Europe and western Asia, greater celandine is a short-lived perennial or biennial in the poppy family that bears yellow flowers and gray-green leaves.

Medicinal Uses of Chelidonium majus

Although all parts of this plant are toxic to humans, the plant has a long history of herbal/medicinal usage. It was once believed to be an effective remedy for wart removal, resulting in the acquisition of common names such as wartweed and swallowwart.

Alterative, diuretic, purgative. It is used in jaundice, eczema, scrofulous diseases, etc., the infusion of 1 OZ. of the dried herb to a pint of boiling water being taken in wineglassful doses. The infusion is a cordial and greatly promotes perspiration. The addition of a few aniseeds in making a decoction of the herb in wine has been held to increase its efficacy in removing obstructions of the liver and gall.

A fluid extract is also prepared, the dose being 1/2 to 1 drachm. Eight to 10 drops of the tincture made from the whole herb, or of the fresh juice, given as a dose three times a day in sweetened water, is considered excellent for overcoming torpid conditions of the liver. In the treatment of the worst forms of scurvy it has been given with benefit.

The orange-coloured, acrid juice is commonly used fresh to cure warts, ringworm and corns, but should not be allowed to come into contact with any other part of the skin.

In milk, it is employed as an eye-lotion, to remove the white, opaque spots on the cornea. Mixed with sulphur, it was formerly used to cure the itch.

An ointment made of the roots and lard boiled together, also of the leaves and flowers, has been used with advantage for piles.

Celandine is a very popular medicine in Russia, where it is said to have proved effective in cases of cancer.

It is still used in Suffolk as a fomentation for toothache.

Growing Chelidonium majus

Select a sunny, partially shady or shady area.
Amend the soil with perlite and a 2- to 3-inch layer of shredded pine bark mulch or leaf mold if it is heavy clay that does not drain quickly. This plant requires excellent drainage. Break up the soil with a shovel or rototiller until it has a fine texture with no clumps. Mix the amendments thoroughly into the soil.
Spread the Chelidonium majus seeds over the prepared soil in early spring immediately after the last expected hard frost. Cover the seeds with garden soil to a depth equal to three times the width of the seeds.
Keep the soil evenly moist until the seeds germinate and the seedlings grow to a few inches tall. Thin the seedlings to 1 foot apart. Continue to water the plants once or twice a week in the absence of rain. Do not allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
Deadhead the flowers as they fade to prevent self-seedling. Leave the flowers on the plant if self-seeding is desired. Pick the 2-inch long seed pods off the plant as they ripen and dry to collect the seeds for later planting. Split the dry pods open and empty the seeds into a paper bag. Place the paper bag in the freezer for two days. Store the seeds in a cool, dark area or in the refrigerator until ready to plant.
