Don't let yourself get tied up in a symmetrical looped knot trying to understand Vigna unguiculata. BBG Horticulturist Kessa McEwen introduces us to the Plant of the Week (Aug. 25): the Pretzel Bean.
Late-summer may have quieted many of the herb beds, but two very different stars are still putting on a show. Plus, peek into the BBG kitchens for peach basil shrub, finishing salts, Herbes de Provence, jellies and other herbal creations keeping the Herb Associates busy through harvest season.
The Herb Display Garden always offers something of interest to learn. This week’s somewhat unfamiliar herbs are Pennyroyal and Wild Marjoram. Here we find two different plants with the same name, and a single name for multiple plants. Hope you’re still reading after that sentence!
