Si prepara shakerando qualche foglia di menta insieme a ghiaccio, gin, Chartreuse gialla, liquore Nepeta e un mix di succo fresco di limone e d'arancia.. ed è delizioso! Veleno d'Amore è un Gin Sour che sa di Sicilia: il drink richiama infatti al naso e al palato aromi e sapori dell'isola. "Sentori riconoscibili a tutti, espressi dal Nepeta, liquore locale che nasce dall'infusione a freddo di nepitella (mentuccia), scorze di limone IGP di Siracusa ed erbe amaricanti e dal succo di limone e d'arancia. Il “tocco francese” della Chartreuse gialla, infine, conferisce ulteriore carattere al cocktail”, spiega Davide Tantillo, bar manager del Mazzini 30 Taverna, che ha presentato la ricetta all'interno del menu speciale ideato per la Palermo Cocktail Week 2024, tenutasi dal 18 al 24 novembre.
Isn't every plant great in a group? Well, the answer is no. Some plants are too vigorous in their growth habits to share the stage, while others are better if put on a pedestal all their own (i.e. the focal point plants of the landscape). Today's episode we talk about plants that are great in masses—that is to say—in groups of three or more. We have options for shade, choices for sun, and selections for those in-between exposures situations. We'll also feature some great plants that we've seen grouped to perfection in gardens featured in Fine Gardening. And you don't have to be a millionaire to group plants. Many of our suggestions are easily divided after just a year or two, providing you with multiple plants for the price of just one.

Happy new year everyone! May 2023 be an herb-filled year for all of us!Monarda species plants are sometimes known as bee balm, wild bergamot, horsemint, or a variety of other names, but we usually just call them monarda. These lovely mint-family members produce an abundance of hot, “sharp” aromatics which are extraordinarily helpful in infectious respiratory issues. Monarda is fantastic in a steam, but teas and tinctures are also very effective ways to work with this herb. If the intensity is a bit too much, or if you have a dry constitution, try formulating with some demulcents such as fennel, licorice, lungwort, or marshmallow.Catnip is well-known to many, yet underappreciated. Nepeta cataria is not only for felines – although it is indeed quite good for them to have a little catnip, regularly! For humans, catnip is an excellent relaxant. It works this way in the digestion (releasing cramps and upward-rising heat or nausea), in the skin (as a relaxant diaphoretic), and in the emotions (as a soothing and calming remedy). It's easy to grow your own, and it's quite safe even for young children or for elders. No matter your level of experience or training, it's always helpful to study the herbs in depth! Our comprehensive presentation of herbal allies is in our Holistic Herbalism Materia Medica course. It includes detailed profiles of 100 medicinal herbs! Plus, you get everything that comes with enrollment in our courses: twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, discussion threads integrated in each lesson, guides & quizzes, and more.

För att pelargoner och andra krukväxter ska bli knubbiga och fina används så kallade retarderingsmedel, som hämmar tillväxten. Om krukväxten slängs i komposten kan växter skadas av kompostjorden. Efter att Odla med P1 tagit upp frågan, varnar nu Kemikalieinspektionen för att slänga krukväxter med retarderingsmedel på komposten. Maj-Lis Pettersson svarar på två frågor som lyssnare skickat in till odla@sverigesradio.se Roger Holt, trädgårdsmästare i Botan i Uppsala, berättar om vårblommande perenner och om fjällväxter i trädgården, och hur man förlänger säsongen i sin rabatt. Här är två förslag på växter som man kan samplantera för lång blomning: 1: Snödroppar (Galanthus), julrosor (Helleborus), gullflocka (Hacquetia epipactis) och blåsippa (Anemone hepatica) Vitsippor )Anemone nemorosa), lungört (Pulmonaria), blodört (Sanguinaria canadensis), treblad (Trillium), nunneörter (Corydalis), hundtandliljor (Erythronium) och vårärt (Lathyrus vernus) Löjtnantshjärta (Lamprocapnos spectabilis) blad av Hosta och bräken. Orkidéer, snöklocka/klosterlilja (Leucojum vernum) och tandrot (Cardamine) Akleja (Aquilegia), nävor (Geranium), liljor, stormhattar (Aconitum) och Hosta i blom Vaxklocka (Kirengeshoma palmata, stånds (Ligularia) och höstsilverax (Actea simplex) Klematis finns både som tidig- och senblommande. 2: Krokus (Crocus) och vintergäck (Eranthis) Tulpaner (Tulipa) och Narcisser, våradonis (Adonis vernalis), tusensköna (Bellis perennis) och gulltörel (Euphorbia epithymoides Violer som t.ex. hornviol (Viola cornuta), kantnepeta (Nepeta faassenii) och lavendeln (Lavendula angustifolia) först som dekorativa kuddar sedan blommande. Pioner (Paeonia), vallmo (Papaver), praktrölleka (Achillea filipendula), Acanthus, olika salvior (stäppsalvian är en favorit!), dagliljor (Hemerocallis), isop (Hyssopus officinalis) och prästkrage (Leucanthemum vulgare). Solhattar (Echinacea), rudbeckia, temynta (Monarda) och höstflox (Phlox paniculata) Aster så som brittsommaraster (Aster amellus), luktaster (Symphyotrichum novea-angliae), höstaster (Symphyotrichum novi-belgii) och prickaster (Aster sedifolius) till exempel.
In this episode I talk to Alice Bettany about Catnip (Nepeta cataria) a herb which is often associated with children as it is so gentle. But gentle doesn't mean it isn't effective! We're so used to hitting things with a sledge hammer now a days we've lost respect for the gentle things in life. We also talked about she sheds and the comfort of a big bosom.. as you do.

Walker’s Low Catmint is a fragrant herbaceous perennial that attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. It grows about 24-30 inches tall and spreads to about 36 inches. With small purple flower and green foliage with a hint of gray, this plant works well in a mixed border or in a container. It requires partial to full sun.
Equally wonderful as accents or massed in large groups, catmints are well-suited to perennial borders, herb gardens and rockeries, and can be used as ground covers, edging plants or for spilling over rock walls. True catnip, Nepeta cataria, is particularly intoxicating to feline friends, but several other common catmints also attract cats.
