Once a rare delicacy, renowned for its peppery, nutty, mustard-like bite, arugula has a delectable flavor, unlike any other green, when the leaves are young and tender. Leaves are best cut at 2 to 3 inches long. Older leaves lose tenderness and can become bitter but are often used in soups and stews.

English thyme is a mainstay of any self-respecting herb garden, of course, but it's also a useful plant elsewhere in the garden. A pest repellent, it's a natural way to keep the veggies and flowering plants looking good. Low-growing and dense, it fills in empty spots in the border nicely. Compact, it fits on the kitchen windowsill without constant pinching. It even makes a fine decorative (and fragrant) edging for any sunny spot.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThyme is essential in French cooking and has become a mainstay of American cuisine as well. Where would Thanksgiving stuffing be without it? (Not to mention Simon and Garfunkel's hit song \"Scarborough Fair\".) English thyme is the variety most commonly used in cuisine, as the small, gray-green leaves are packed with flavor and easy to harvest by letting the stems dry (after cutting from the plant) for a few days, then simply stripping the leaves. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis plant is a woody perennial (technically a shrub), which will bring you four to five good years of foliage before it should be replaced. (The leaves begin to lose their flavor as the stems grow woodier with age.) If allowed to go to flower, it is a marvelous bee attractant, but if you want to use the foliage in cooking, pinch off the buds as soon as you see them, because the flavor deteriorates when the plant blooms. Thyme is a very pretty flowering plant, however, so we recommend that you also plant a stand of spreading, magnificently flowering Mother of Thyme in the garden to satisfy the bees as well as your own desire for blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExpect this thyme to reach 12 to 18 inches high and about 24 inches wide. The stems are closely packed and short, standing almost straight up. Thyme will wend its way around existing plants in the garden without choking them out, making it a nice choice for filler in a garden that has a few bare areas. And it's evergreen above zone 6, so it makes a nice winter companion in warmer climates to the ornamental cabbages and kales, the snapdragons and pansies.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEarly each spring, cut this plant back to about half its size.

This simple treatment will result in much more dense, attractive, and healthy plants all season long.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThyme can take a while to sow, but it isn't difficult, just a procrastinator. Sow the seeds uncovered in your Bio Dome or seed flats at about 65 to 70 degrees. They should sprout within the month. (Yes, plan ahead.) Once sprouted, they thrive in high light, and may be transplanted into the garden or outdoor container as soon as they have two sets of true leaves. They need full sun, good soil drainage (add gravel or perlite to the soil if this is an issue), and a level of richness to the soil on a par with what you would give a tomato plant.

Long awaited and more than a decade in the making, this British introduction is nothing short of a sensation. Instead of their usual rounded shape, the petals of every bloom on this flowering annual are \"cut\" into 3 to 4 points, like flames or fishtails.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eScalloped between the points, these petals are stunning, standing out brilliantly among ivy-leaf shaped leaves of bright green. The blooms arise in both bright and pastel shades, giving you the classic golds, oranges, and reds of nasturtiums as well as the less common creams, peaches, and salmons. Many petals are brushed with mahogany near the base. And they are unbelievably profuse, beginning in early summer and continuing nonstop until frost in most areas. Phoenix is not only a new look for the family, it's one of the easiest and most productive, too.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAnd as if all this weren't enough, Phoenix also boasts a versatile habit. Some nasturtiums are vining, others bushy, but Phoenix is both! You can let its stems trail from hanging baskets and flowerpots, or you can grow it \"upright\" in beds and containers, where it will mound instead of spreading. The choice is yours! Generally about 12 inches high and 14 inches wide, it will adjust a bit to fit the habit you choose for it—lower and more trailing in baskets, higher and more compact in beds.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNasturtium is grown both for its beauty and for its uses as an herb.

Not only does it attract beneficial bees to the garden, it helps ward off pests that want to nibble your veggie plants. It protects the Brassica family (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, mustard and collard greens, etc.) especially well from a range of predators, including aphids and squash beetles. It is also useful as a barrier planting around your tomatoes and cucumbers, and some gardeners find it a helpful pest deterrent when ringed around young fruit trees.

And those are just the culinary options . . . then there are the ornamental uses of this beauty, in containers as well as the garden. Thank goodness you get 100 seeds per packet.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOregano is a perennial that thrives in full sunshine and well-drained soil on the dry side. Once it's established in your garden, let the soil dry out between watering's, and when you do water, make sure to do it long and deep, to encourage the roots to grow far down into the soil and find their own sources of water. If you live in a rainy climate, mound up the soil before planting your oregano, and make sure the drainage is really sharp. For those of us in thirsty gardens with long summers, a plant that likes its soil dry is a pure blessing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOregano has a useful culinary life of four or five years. So unless you want to grow it as an annual and harvest the entire plant for drying in midsummer (a good option for space-challenged gardens, because you can replace the oregano with fall plants each year), let one or two plants flower and go to seed each year, bringing you many new oregano seedlings the following spring. Thin or transplant them, and you will always have new young plants to replace those that \"age out\" of the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe key to keeping the flavor of the leaves at its peak is to pinch out any flower buds you see forming on the plant immediately (unless you are growing the plant to go to seed). Flowering really reduces the flavor of the foliage, so you don't want your plants to reach that stage at all. The other key is to trim your plants every couple weeks, even if you aren't cutting the stems for use in the kitchen. Being pruned reminds the plant to send up fresh new branches, bursting with rich flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExpect oregano to reach 12 to 18 inches high and wide in the garden, with broad 1½-inch leaves. This plant fills a 10-inch container perfectly. But if you have smaller containers and\/or want to grow it in the kitchen windowsill as part of your culinary herb garden, it is easy to keep oregano smaller. Every few weeks, pinch off the tip of the central stem of the plant. This encourages side-shoots to grow, and also keeps the plant short. You'll find you can grow a very compact oregano with all the flavor and appeal of its full-sized cousins.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eYou will know your oregano is reaching the end of its culinary life when the stems become woody. The plant is also quite attractive at this point, so you have the option to leave it alone and let it be an ornamental, bringing butterflies and bees into the garden with its bright purple blooms, or you can cull it. Either way, this is a perennial that is as lovely as it is useful, and will bring you years of pleasure wherever you grow it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSow seeds in well-drained to dry, neutral to alkaline soil in full sun, or start them indoors in your Bio Dome or seed flats.
