Sheryl,

You be sure to stop back often.  Your company provides you with lots of good food ideas.  Please come back and share the joys of eating fresh from the garden or using your products.

Annamaria,

Thank you for visiting.  Some of us are gardeners, some enjoy visiting gardens, and like you some can enjoy reading about gardens.  This will be a challenge to your English skills, so here's to learning more vocabulary in the garden.

Here is a plant for you Anamarie. 

FENNEL is one of the oldest cultivated plants and was much valued by the Romans.

In an age of banquets, Roman warriors took fennel to keep in good health, while Roman ladies ate it to prevent obesity.  Every part of the part is edible. Charlemagne declared in 812 A.D that fennel with healing properties also to its credit , was essential in every imperial garden.

Enjoy it in the borders of your gardens, eat or drink.  Fennel, a sacred Anglo-Saxon herb dedicated to lovely, Anamarie

Judy,

Regarding Hens and chicks.

My Herbs and spices book says the Dutch added them to salad. Cosmetically it says they can be soaked in a bath or facial steam to hel and nourish the skin.

It can be directly applied to the skin  or as a decoction to warts and other skin blemishes.

For me, it was the hotest garage sale item.  We would put 4 rousettes in a margarine tub with a little soil and they sold like "hot cakes".  Mine always bloomed with a tall spike and a yellow flower.  As the bloom progressed  it lost its beauty. It stood about 3-4 feet high.

People should visit your web page!

Any advertising you do, you make link this forum to it.

 Hi Mary,

I am wondering about the possible dangers of some kinds of geraniums.

Many people have geraniums as indoor house plants, and it was my understanding that those varieties are considered toxic and harmful to pets and small children.

Using a Google search about toxic plants, some websites include geraniums in their list of toxic plants and other sites do not.  One site said the leaves are the problem, another site said the entire plant is toxic. 

I know you mentioned it should be a special kind of geranium, not the ones commonly seen in the garden. 

But some folks might not be sure which is good and which is bad.

For sure, I don't know a lot about different varieties of plants and how one might be different from another species.
