Lemon Star Marigold

Petite yellow flowers with star shapred maroon center with citrusy flavor.

Marjoram

Elegant and versatile culinary herb.  Aroma is similar to oregano, but sweeter and more balsam-like.  Annual.

Marshmallow  $5.00

Roots were once used in the preparation of first version of marshmallows.

Menthol Plant

More pungent than the Vicks Plant with smooother leaf edges.

Mexican Mint Marigold

Aromatic leaves are a substitute for French Tarragon.  Sweet licorice flavor brightens salads and main dishes. Pretty, golden yellow flowers bloom all summer. Grown in the south where tarragon will not grow well..

Nasturtiums

Edible flower in red, orange and yellow. Prefers poor soil and no fertilizer. Pickled buds used in place of capers.

Variegated Mugwort

Yellow and green leaves, produces panicles of sweet-scented white flowers. Pillows stuffed with the dried leaves are said to induce prophetic dreams. Good moth repellent.

Our Lady's Bedstraw

Leaves are similar to woodruff but smaller. Delicate spreading plant with panicles of yellow flowers. Legendary bedding for the Christ Child in the manager. Also used to curdle milk in the process of cheese making in Europe.  Excellent low growing ground cover, as it creates a straw bed under the foliage that deters weeds.Seed did not germinate

Paprika Pepper

Dry and grind the peppers to make your own paprika.

Italian Flat Leaf Parsley

Great flavor. Flat glossy dark green leaves have a strong parsley/celery flavor. Stiff upright stems for bunching.

Pepicha

Grass like cilantro flavored herb which tolerates hot weather and full sun unlike cilantro. Used before Cilantro was introduced by Chinese miners in Chile. My choice  over cilantro since cilantro goes to seed so easily in the heat.
