The Diamond Bell pepper is an American-bred beauty. Rarely seen in even the finest of produce markets, its medium-thick fleshed, blocky fruits have a rich flavor and a sweet, juicy crunch. It remains translucent ivory for quite a while before gradually maturing to pale yellow and, finally to a scarlet-red if you can resist eating it for that long.

Our quail are spoiled on a diet of high-protein layer feed, mealworms, fresh greens, and even watermelon rind. Their eggs may be blue or speckled as we have Celadon quail and project quail in a variety of colors. Any texture (nubs or bumps) on the eggs are calcium deposits. Quail eggs can be slightly more difficult to break open than chicken eggs and we use a scissor specifically made for it. Quail eggs are highly nutritious, creamier and smoother than chicken eggs. In recipes, please substitute 2 to 3 quail eggs for 1 chicken egg. Some of our jumbo birds lay “large for quail” eggs. Eggs are unwashed.

Dug this spring from a grove in my yard and potted in gallon pots. These are first-year plants, still small, and may not bloom next year. This native shrub, American Elder or Sambucus canadensis, has been known for its delicious fruit (for use in jellies, pies or wine) since native American times. It has more recently been used in landscapes for its spectacular blossoms and dramatically colored berries. The Elderberry is also a fantastic wildlife habitat, providing both shelter for small animals and a healthy food source. Elderberries are both drought and cold-tolerant, adapt to almost any soil type and most drainage conditions and have few pests. They grow 6 to 12 feet high in an oval or rounded shape. The white flower clusters are generally 6 to 10 inches in diameter and are very showy with a nice fragrance. The fruit, which is pleasantly tart but high in vitamin C, is a smooth round berry measuring three-sixteenths-inch in diameter growing in broad flat clusters. Grows in zones: 3 - 9

Semi-evergreen, deer-resistant Dixie Wood Fern has a dramatically upright growth habit, clumping 2 ft. wide, with an upright habit to 4 ft. or more tall. Its large, coarse, dark green fronds are semi-evergreen in our Zone 7. It is best used as a vertical accent in the woodland or shade garden, in full to partial shade, in wet or constantly moist soil; or as a specimen plant. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed frequently during growing season with a general purpose fertilizer. Cut back old fronds after new growth begins in spring.

This lovely fern grows around 12-18" tall and slowly multiplies to form a large clump 24" across. The fronds are approximately 18" long and are a soft-grey metallic color with hints of red and blue. The center stem is red so the contrast is excellent. This variety has more burgundy color at all seasons than the other one I offer. This fern prefers partial rather than deep shade. It is an excellent contrast plant to other shade perennials, such as Hosta, bleeding hearts, columbines, astilbe, and heuchera.

Ostrich fern is popular for its erect stature and graceful arching fronds (leaves) resembling huge ostrich feathers, up to 5 feet long and 3 feet wide. Each frond is cut into numerous leaflets and subleaflets. As they mature they spread at the tip, creating a lovely canopy effect. Ostrich fern is very easy to grow in a variety of light exposures, but prefers shade or partial shade. It colonizes fairly fast by spreading rhizomes, eventually forming large, glorious colonies, but rarely becomes invasive. Ostrich fern grows best in moist, rich soil conditions but tolerates occasional drought when established. It's excellent around a pond or in a damp border. Few plants impart such a light, airy, cooling effect in the landscape, or provide such a range of foliage textures for the garden, as Ostrich fern. Fiddleheads are edible, and this is the preferred species to eat. However, it should only be eaten in moderation as all ferns contain varying amounts of carcinogenic compounds. The plant is not evergreen, but the fertile fronds turn black and persist through the winter. They perform better and better with age. Do not plant too deep; set the crowns at or just below soil level. A year-round mulch is recommended. Zones 2-7, and native south to Virginia and Missouri.

Sensitive fern (Onoclea Sensibilis)is a large, somewhat coarse, deciduous fern that occurs in wet woods and thickets and in moist soils along streams and springs. Native to the North American continent, parts of Europe and Asia, it can grow up to 4' tall. It features long-stalked, deeply pinnatifid, bright green, vegetative (sterile) fronds (2-4' long) with leathery, triangular leaflets (pinnae) which have distinctively netted veins. Shorter, erect, woody-like fertile fronds (to 12" tall), whose ultimate divisions are bead-like segments, typically brown up in late summer and persist throughout the remaining season and winter. Commonly called sensitive fern because the green vegetative fronds are sensitive to and suffer almost immediate damage from the first fall frost. This fern is also sensitive to drought. It is best grown in organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. It needs consistent moisture to thrive. Although it is native to swampy and marshy areas, it grows quite well in average garden soil as long as the soil is not allowed to dry out, but it grows best in natural areas. In wet soils, which it tolerates well, it usually grows taller which makes it a good sheltering plant. The plant spreads by both creeping rhizomes and spores, and can be somewhat aggressive in optimum growing conditions. The fertile fronds of this plant look especially nice in dried arrangements.

The flower petals of the calendula plant (Calendula officinalis), or pot marigold, have been used for medicinal purposes since at least the 12th century. Calendula is native to Mediterranean countries but is now grown as an ornamental plant throughout the world. However, it is not the same as the annual marigold plant that is often grown in gardens. Calendula has high amounts of flavonoids, plant-based antioxidants that protect cells from being damaged by unstable molecules called free radicals. Calendula appears to fight inflammation, viruses, and bacteria. Traditionally, calendula has been used to treat stomach upset and ulcers, as well as relieve menstrual cramps, but there is no scientific evidence that calendula works for these problems. Today, calendula is often used topically, meaning it is applied to the skin. Calendula has been shown to help wounds heal faster, possibly by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the affected area, which helps the body grow new tissue. It is also used to improve skin hydration and firmness. The dried petals of the calendula plant are used in tinctures, ointments, and washes to treat burns, bruises, and cuts, as well as the minor infections they cause. Calendula also has been shown to help prevent dermatitis or skin inflammation in people with breast cancer during radiation therapy.

Geraniums were once considered the "must have" plant for English gardens. Perennial geraniums are not related to annual geraniums, but are cold-hardy, long-lived perennials. It is also called Cranesbill because of the shape of the seed pods once the petals have faded. Seed heads snap open like bird beaks to release the seeds. Geraniums bloom for months beginning around May and continuing until October or November. If the cup shaped flowers fade in the summer heat trim the plant back and water deeply to encourage repeat blooming. Geraniums prefer light shade and well-drained soil.
