Outdoor Perennial Garden
Here is a list of a few things currently planted
in the greenhouse herb garden...
|
Bamboo
Bamboo is usually associated with tropical Asia, but various
species are found in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. This
member of the grass family is used for food and construction
materials (including “hardwood” floors), among
other things. |
Broadleaf Plantain
A common weed, the Broadleaf Plantain (Plantago major)
is reputed to relieve the itching and burning of scrapes,
insect bites and bee stings when crushed leaves are applied
to the skin.

Chives
A relative of onions and garlic, chives
(Alium schoenoprasum) are a widely used culinary herb.
They are often snipped fresh and added to soups, salads,
egg dishes, and lots more. |
Moth Mullein
Moth mullein (Verbascum blattaria) is
related to the Common Mullein, whose large fuzzy leaves
and tall spikes of yellow flowers are often seen in
areas with poor soil. |
Ferns
The ferns shown in this photo are maidenhair fern (Adiantum
pedatum), and royal fern (Osmunda regalis). These ferns
prefer shady conditions, moist soils, and like all ferns,
propagate themselves by spores instead of seeds. |
