I loved my garden this past summer, and aside from the eventual accidental banzai basil, I think I did pretty well. While the plants came out smaller than most (I just wasn’t willing to transplant a second time given the limited space I had) I was quite pleased with the strength and flavor of my little herbs. I even managed to get two or three reasonable harvests off of them by the beginning of September. And the catnip has worked well for soothing the Latin American dictator masquerading as her cat.

First, I have the sampler pack for November all lined up – the scents include Autumn, Incognito, Psyche, If and Scorpio - a lovely spicy pack perfect for the autumn season.

I’ve also got a new entry in the trashion line – Juicy Bite. Made from only synthetics (so you can compare to my typical all-natural line) this has the bright, almost syrupy impression of mango, tulsi and maille leaf. Nothing in nature is quite like this!

And I still have some nag champa chomp left for those who like a slight mystique:

It doesn’t grow in the wild the way it does in domestic gardens. I’m not sure why this surprised me – I guess I’ve seen it come up so often as a seed variety in catalogs that I forget domestication of a plant in no way negates it’s possible endangered status – just like animals raised in captivity are not the same as their in-the-wild relations, domestic plants have genetic variations that wild plants don’t have.

People give a lot of thought to endangered animals because so many of them are cuddly. But plants – even the small ones – are just as important as they’re our planet’s primary oxygen supply. The more of them we have, the better off we are.
