If you use Botanical Interests seed, you are part of our
gardening family, and I hope your garden brings you as much
joy as mine does.
An initial investment in your garden pays off rapidly and
continues for the rest of the summer. By growing your own
herbs and vegetables you will save money, enjoy the health
benefits of homegrown food, experience the wonderful
connection with the cycles of the seasons, and have
moments of pure bliss from the sunshine and fresh air.
Our family is fed from this garden all season long. From early
spring through fall, I pick our dinner from my raised beds
that offer everything from salads, to the ingredients for a
main course, to sweet melons for dessert.
The garden gives me back so much. It’s a restful place to relax
after a busy day at work, and it is where I connect with my girls
as we wander about the garden choosing the ingredients for our
family meal. It’s a place where I slow down and notice the little
things in nature like the beautiful flowers, birds and butterflies.
Our family in the Botanical
Interests test garden.
We have so many fun things planned for 2011; I am so
excited! Watch for our newly designed website. It will be
easier to navigate with wonderful user-friendly features. You
will also find two new blogs, Seed to Saucepan and Creative
Inspirations, in addition to In the Garden, which is our
educational blog discussing techniques and tricks I use in my
own garden. Watch for updates on our new iPhone App. If
you’re not already connected, I’d like to welcome you to our
gardening community. You can also follow us on Twitter, or
fan us on Facebook.
We hope you enjoy our 2011 catalog, expanded with articles
and featured chefs. Have a wonderful garden season!

Old time gardeners say dill enhances the
growth of cabbage, onions, and lettuce.
Special CARE: Tall plants can sometimes
be damaged by wind. Plant in protected
location or in tomato cage if wind is a
problem. Dill and fennel are closely related.
If you are planning to grow dill and fennel to
save the seeds for planting the following
year, do not plant them close together as
they may naturally cross-pollinate and lose
their unique characteristics.
Harvesting - How & When: Fresh foliage can
be harvested anytime until plant flowers.
Cut leaves as close to stem as possible.
Seeds should be harvested 2-3 weeks
after flowering begins. Cut flower heads
with stem and place in paper bag BEFORE
seed becomes too mature and falls to the
ground. Heads should be placed in bottom
of bag and the top of the bag should be
tied shut around the stems. Seeds will fall
to the bottom of the bag. Store seeds in
airtight glass herb jar.
Medicinal and Other Topics: Dill has never
been used extensively for medicinal
purposes. Herbalists use seeds and
leaves to increase mothers milk, relieve
colic, and stimulate appetite. Dill tea
is also tasty.
Special Uses: Dill’s primary use is culinary:
fresh dill leaves are sprinkled on all sorts
Your last day of frost...
The last day of frost (32 degrees or less) is defined as "the first day in spring on
which there is less than a 50% chance a frost will occur." This information is crucial
when planting a garden. To find out your last day of frost, call your local independent
garden center or your county Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service. Also
inquire about the average date of the first fall frost.

Family: Apiaceae (formerly Umbelliferae)
Carrot family, includes angelica, carrot,

Native: Europe
Hardiness: Annual.
Plant Description: 30" - 36" tall.
Herb Description: 6" small, yellow umbelshaped flower clusters (upside-down
umbrella shape).
When to Plant: Outside: RECOMMENDED.
Spring, after the average last day of spring
frost. Successive plantings every 2 to 3
weeks until hot weather will assure a continual
fresh supply of foliage AND seeds. Inside:
Not recommended; does not transplant well.
Special Sowing & Germination Instructions:
Seed requires light to germinate; seeds
should be pressed into soil surface and
misted or watered lightly very regularly.
When the dill plant flowers in summer, it uses
a lot of energy; the foliage usually suffers.
Successive plantings previously discussed
will allow you to have foliage and seed on
a regular basis.
Optimal Growing Conditions: Soil: Fertile and
well drained. Likes lots of organic material in
soil. Water: Prefers to be moist. Leaves will
yellow and wither without sufficient water.
Exposure: Full sun. Fertilizer: Dill is not
a big user of soil nutrients. Companion Planting:

Russian cooking. Dill seeds are used to make vinegar and
in pickling. Dill is an important host plant for caterpillars
of swallowtail butterflies.
Historical & Other Interesting Information: Dill was
grown extensively in the gardens of Athens and Rome.
It was believed to work as a charm against witches, and
garlands of dill crowned the heads of war heroes. Dill
was once called “meeting seed” because Puritans and
Quakers gave the seeds to their children to chew to
stave off hunger during long church meetings.

How to Store: Drying: Leaves can be dried on a fine
(Write in date)
mesh screen in a warm, dry location out of the sun.
Freezing: Whole branches of dill can be frozen and
then thawed for use. Fresh: Foliage is best used fresh immediately after harvest.
Do not place in refrigerator; becomes limp and loses flavor.
Ways to Cook/Ideas for Using: Dill tea is a good tummy soother and helps with
incomnia. Pour 8 ounces of boiling water over 2 teaspoons of dill seeds and steep
for 10-15 minutes. (You may adjust the amount of dill to taste.)
Recipe: Cucumber & Tomato Salad with Dill. Slice cucumbers & tomatoes
and arrange on a plate. Splash with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh dill. Cover and
chill in refrigerator for 1 hour. A cool, summertime favorite.
Are Your Dried Herbs Still Good?
If you haven't used a bottle of dried herbs in awhile and you are wondering if it
is still good, open the bottle and smell. If there is no scent, crush a few leaves
with your fingers. If there is no aroma, it's time to buy or preferably dry more of
that herb. No aroma = no flavor.

Broom corn stalks make
wonderful autumn décor. You can
tie the tall 5' - 6' stalks in bundles
and place next to hay bales and
pumpkins for a porch display.
Or, cut the seed heads to display
in vases along with dried flowers
for indoor décor. The shiny red,
black and tan seeds on long
panicles also add the ultimate fall
touch to wreaths and will last for
years to come.
If you want to grow enough broom

seeds that develop in late summer
to fall, maturing in about 100 days
after planting. It was not called
“broom corn” until the early 1800s.
At that time, the British called all
seed-bearing plants “corn,” so the
name is related to the seed as well
as its use.
Benjamin Franklin brought the first
broom corn seeds to American in
1725 after finding them on a hat
brush in England. A new broom
industry was created shortly
thereafter when it was discovered
that broom corn made a more
efficient broom, whisking away
more dust than brooms made from
twigs or straw. In 1781, Thomas
Jefferson listed it as one of the most
important crops of that time. In theed after the

Create Beautiful Containers
With inspiration from award-winning blogger Fern Richardson
4. Use dwarf versions of your
favorite plants to create the illusion
of a grand scale.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
1. Don’t fill a large pot entirely with soil.
Big pots full of potting mix are heavy and
water tends to stagnate in the bottom,
which most plants don’t like. Keep things
light and draining properly by using a pot
insert. Or, if you’re on a budget, you can
use crumpled plastic bottles.
Perfect for Cool Weather!
A
2. Use pot feet of some sort. Pots sitting
right on your balcony, deck or patio cause
rot, uneven fading, ugly stains and poor
drainage. Check out pot pads. They’re
completely hidden underneath the pot
but raise things up off the ground.

Broom Corn
0142
Broomfield, Colorado was named after the
broomcorn plant around 1900 when a lot
of farmland was devoted to growing it.
Brooms were traditionally made from the
straw-like fibers after stripping off the
seeds. ‘Broom Corn’ is not related to
corn, but is actually a sorghum, another
member of the grass family. Instead of
growing tassels and ears, it is topped by
richly colored shiny seeds. Harvest them
for fall décor and dried arrangements, or
grow enough to make your own broom!

5. Use edibles and flowers together.
Edibles are all the rage right now, and
when you treat them as an ornamental
plant instead of a fussy edible that has to
be grown in evenly spaced rows, they can
give your container garden a whimsical,
cool vibe without looking like you’re
trying too hard.
and shiny and come off the stalk easily.
When to Plant: OUTSIDE: Sow in spring,
1-2 weeks after average last spring
frost date and when soil is warm (6065 degrees). INSIDE: Not recommended.
Sow directly outside.
Special Germination Instructions: Easy
to grow. If necessary, protect seedlings
from birds. Broom corn does not need
to be isolated from corn plants. They will
not cross-pollinate.
Special Uses: Leave plants with seed
heads standing for winter food for birds
or harvest seed heads for ornamental
use. Bundles of the tall stalks of Broom
Corn make a wonderful backdrop for
pumpkins, gourds, and haystacks for an
autumn display. Seeds can be stripped
from the long fibrous panicles to make
brooms.
Historical Information: Benjamin Franklin
brought the first broomcorn seeds to
American in 1725 after finding them on a
hat brush in England. A new broom
industry was created shortly
thereafter when it was found that
broomcorn made a more efficient broom,
whisking away more dust than brooms
made from twigs or straw. In 1781, Thomas
Jefferson listed it as one of the most important
crops of that time. This type of sorghum was not
called ‘Broom Corn’ until the early 1800’s. At that
time, the British called all seed-bearing plants, ‘corn’.
In modern times, Arcola, Illinois is known as the
“Broom Corn Capital of the World” and hosts a
Broom Corn Festival every year in September.
In the Kitchen: Seeds can be popped like popcorn!

Your last day of frost...
The last day of frost (32 degrees or less) is defined as "the first day in spring
on which there is less than a 50% chance a frost will occur." This information is
crucial when planting a garden. To find out your last day of frost, call your local
independent garden center or your county Cooperative Agricultural Extension
Service. Also inquire about the average date of the first fall frost.

wind. They will need to be “hardened
off“ (transitioned slowly). Place them
in a sheltered area with shade, then
over the course of a week, gradually
increase their exposure to direct
sunlight. Check daily to see if they
need water. After a week, check your
weather forecast. If an unexpected
freeze is predicted, they may need
to be protected with a row cover or
temporarily brought back inside. If the
temperature is going to remain above
freezing, they can be transplanted into
the ground or a larger container.

5. Use fluorescent lights.
Place lights 1"-2" above seedlings and
leave them on for 14-16 hours per day.
(Your local hardware store will have
an inexpensive timer you can use
to turn lights on/off automatically.)
The ideal lights have both a cool and
warm bulb for a full spectrum of light,
but any bright fluorescent will do for
seed starting. Avoid starting seeds on
windowsills. Your brightest window
has only a fraction of the light needed
for seedlings to thrive. Insufficient light
results in spindly weak plants.

2. Use a high quality seed starting mix.
A good mix will be finely milled. It will
provide good drainage, but also retain
moisture well. Do not use potting soils
for starting seeds. They are excellent
for transplanting, but are often too
chunky and contain added fertilizers
that are too rich for seed germination.
Mixes that contain perlite (a white
rock-like volcanic glass product) should
also be avoided. It’s too sharp and fast
draining, and can make it harder to
pull roots apart when transplanting.
Thoroughly moisten your seed starting
mix before sowing.

You can always be sure that you are

accept them for packing, and we only
accept the best! Here are some tips for
giving your seeds a successful start:

10. Water daily.
Never let the soil dry out! Young
seedlings occupy just the top ¼" to
½" of soil. If this thin layer gets dry,
they can die. A newly sown area may
require water at least once or twice
a day to keep the soil moist if there
hasn't been frequent rain.

Bees Wanted!
Inquire Inside Garden
by Michelle DePaepe
Communications & Art Director
Botanical Interests
There are many reasons
to grow flowers, besides
the beauty that they
add to the garden. I
have to admit that the main reason
I grow Lavender Hyssop (p. 11), Blue
Boy bachelor buttons (p. 6), and Split
Personality morning glories (p. 14) is that
I know how much the bees enjoy them.
Each summer morning as I wait for my
dog to visit the “ladies’ room”
,
I stand and watch the bees hard at
work, scrambling to get to the pollen
and nectar as fast as they can.
When most people think of bees, they
think of European honeybees, which
were first brought to the American
colonies by settlers in the 1600s.
We’ve all heard about their serious
decline. Other than mites, viruses and
man-made hazards, another possible
cause of their overall decline includes
loss of habitat and foraging areas. This
is a concern for all types of bees.
Have you ever noticed how many
different types of bees there are in your
garden? There are around 4000 native
species of bees in the United States in
addition to the European honeybee. They

are all important for crop pollination
and fascinating to watch in action.
I love counting the different types
on my flowers, including small blue
mason bees, green iridescent bees,
black bees with wings like stained
glass, and 'red-butted' bumblebees.
The leafcutter bees are my favorites.
Fuzzy, with a black blotch on their backs,
they’re like little helicopters, sometimes
hovering in front of me as if to ask for
my permission to pass through their
harvesting area. But, I don’t bother
them, and they don’t bother me. I just
enjoy standing aside and seeing their
buzzy bee business in progress.

Masses of flowers are best, but even a
small group of flowers or a cluster of
flowers in containers will roll out the
welcome mat. Bees have a preference
for blue, white and yellow flowers.
They are also drawn to flowers with a
single row of petals because of easier
access to pollen. Plan for a succession
of bloom times (spring, summer
and fall), so the bees will have a long
running food supply.
When I water the vegetable garden, I’m
thankful to see squash bees scurrying
inside the yellow squash blossoms,
pollinating and ensuring that I’ll have a
bountiful crop. (I’m always sure to avoid
getting the flowers wet when I water.
Morning is prime pollination time!)
If you would like to support your local
bee population and “hire” more bees
to work inside your garden, be sure
to avoid using pesticides and plant a
wide variety of bee-friendly flowers
and flowering herbs. And don’t limit
them to the flower border—plant some
near your vegetables to draw more
bees to pollinate your crops.
There is a complete list of bee-friendly
flowers offered by Botanical Interests
on www.botanicalinterests.com.

packet of Save the Bees Mix (above) and

FLOWERS
Family: Valerianaceae, Valerian family, includes
Jupiter’s beard, valerian and corn salad.
Native: North africa, europe
hardiness: Cool season annual, but will
overwinter even in northern cold climates if
mulched heavily. Foliage has been reported to
survive down to 10 degrees F.
Vegetable Description: Dark green spoonshaped leaves are gathered into a rosette.
Very attractive plant in the garden. Grows 1'
in diameter, but can be harvested at almost
any size.
General mache Information: a very old plant,
archaeological records show mache, the
french name for corn salad, grown near the
end of the stone age. The name corn salad
came into being because it can be a weed
in grain fields in europe (grain in europe is
commonly called corn). also called “lambs
lettuce” because 1) sheep love this vegetable
and/or 2) the most tasty crops are ready in
spring when lambing season begins. It is also
known as rapunzel because when the wicked
witch caught rapunzel, she was hunting for
corn salad for her mother. The adaptability
of mache to cold or hot conditions is related
to seed size; the smaller the seed, the less
tolerant to warm or hot conditions and the
larger the seed, the more tolerant of warm/
hot conditions. This is a French favorite —
much poundage passes through Paris produce
markets in spring.
When to Plant: mache grows best when
planted directly in the garden. oUTsIDe:
several options. Northern, Cold Climates:
early spring as soon as ground is workable
for early summer harvest, late summer for
fall harvest, and late fall for spring harvest
(seeds will stay dormant until environmental
conditions are correct in early spring for it
to come up). Mild Winter Climates: Fall for
winter harvest. remember, though, that
it is a big seeded variety and will take
considerable heat — if you are late getting in
your garden, don't worry. Big seeded mache
should do just fine in the heat without
getting too bitter.
special sowing & Germination Instructions:
seeds can take a while to come up — be
patient! also, sow heavily — mache tends to
be variable in its germination. Don't thin at
all if growing for tasty seedlings.
optimal Growing Conditions: soIl: Does
best in fertile, moist, well drained soils, but
will tolerate almost any soil. mulch to keep
soil evenly moist and cool. WaTer: moist but
not soggy. eXPosUre: Full sun. Will tolerate
light shade, particularly if starting seedlings
outside in late summer (cools down soil).
FerTIlIZer: a couple of light fertilizations
during the growing season are recommended.
sPeCIal GroWING INsTrUCTIoNs: mache
is great for intercropping among larger
vegetables such as broccoli and looks

on which there is less than a 50% chance a frost will occur." This information is
crucial when planting a garden. To find out your last day of frost, call your local
independent garden center or your county Cooperative agricultural extension
service. also inquire about the average date of the first fall frost.

Greens, Glorious Greens!
by Michelle DePaepe
Communications & Art Director, Botanical Interests
Were you one of the kids that figured
out how to hide the spinach in a napkin
then feed it to the dog under the table
when your mother wasn't looking?
I was…but I've sure come a long way
since then! Now, many varieties of
vegetable greens are a staple of my diet
and planted in my garden each year.
SCRUMPTIOUS SALAD
It would be hard to narrow them down
to just one favorite green, but salad
material comes to mind first. Lettuce is
a must, and the more varieties the
better! Botanical Interests carries a
wide range of lettuce types. You may
already have a favorite, but it’s fun to
experiment every year to try new
textures, flavors and colors. I’m really
partial to the Valentine Mesclun Mix.
It’s a nice mix and has some rockin’
reds in it. If you are growing lettuce for
the first time, consider the leaf varieties
like Red Sails and Salad Bowl Blend.
Most lettuce varieties are easy to grow,
but the 'leaf' types are good starter
varieties. Want to know the number
one reason I prefer
homegrown lettuce? If it’s
picked fresh, washed, and
stored in a plastic bag
or container in the
refrigerator, it will last
up to two weeks! Try
that with store-bought
lettuce that’s been
trucked to the grocery
store from another
state and is already
limp when you’re
ready to make salad.
It also feels good to
walk a few feet out
the back door and
pick a fresh salad for lunch or dinner.
MAGNIFICENT MUSTARD
I used to shy away from mustards, but
your palate changes over time as you
learn to appreciate the varying flavors of
fresh vegetables. After having a glorious
Mizuna mustard salad at The Leaf
restaurant in Boulder on my birthday
last year, I’m making this mustard a
garden staple. Its mild flavor goes well
with a simple vinaigrette or an Asian
style dressing. You can even add it to
stir-fries or steam it as a side dish.
COLLARDS WITH CHARACTER
Collard greens. Forget everything
you’ve ever heard about them being
only for southern cooking. Their big
nutritious leaves might just be the most
versatile green you've ever used in the
kitchen (spinach comes a close second).
When they're young and tender, you
can add them to salads. As they grow
larger, you can slice and steam them,
adding them to casseroles, soups, and
lasagna. But, my favorite use for
collards is to let the leaves grow large,
so I can use them for wraps. Rub
them with olive oil to soften them
and fill with your favorite burrito or
wrap filling like hummus or a
veggie pate. Despite their southern
popularity, collards are a cool
season vegetable and grow well in
27
the cool weather of fall and
spring. They even taste sweeter after
the first fall frost!
KALE IS KING
Many of us here at Botanical Interests
are in love with kale. I’m no exception.
My love affair began with kale chips
made in the dehydrator or oven with
just a little olive oil and salt added.
They’re easy, fast and a nutritional mile
above potato chips when it comes to
snacking. You can use any kale variety
for them. I also love Judy and Curtis’
family kale recipe. They sautee sliced
Italian Nero Toscana kale with a little
garlic and olive oil then pour it over
pasta. Even the kids gobble this dish
up! You can also process the raw leaves
with the garlic and olive oil in a food
processor to make a quick kale pesto. It
goes great with potatoes for a little
Irish flavor or with white
Cannellini beans for more Italian style.
I have more green tales to come, but I’ll
save them for the next catalog.
Be sure to grow some greens in your
garden this spring. I promise you won't
even be tempted to share them under
the table with the dog. You’ll want
them all for yourself!

Mustard, particularly the Asian mustards,
are overlooked by American gardeners for
Spinach; what a shame! The unique, spicy
flavor is excellent mixed in salads or
straight as its own salad, wilted like spinach
or chard and wrapped in prosciutto, steamed
and tossed with sesame oil and soy sauce,
stir fried with ginger, bok choy, snow peas,
or chicken. Roots are also edible! Red Giant
is one of the most popular Asian mustard
varieties, being both cold and bolt tolerant;
it isalso a particularly attractive variety
with a coppery glow in the garden.

Designing the Organic
Garden
Diversity is the Key to a Successful Garden
Are you old enough to remember the
television show, The Odd Couple, from
the 1970s? Felix was neat and tidy, while
his roommate, laissez-faire Oscar, was
his polar opposite.
Is it possible that the eclectic organic
gardener who sows a hodgepodge
of this, a cluster of that, and pinch of
another will be more successful than
the organic gardener who prefers large
mono crops in neat and tidy rows?
Diversity in the garden draws more
beneficial insects and reduces the
chances that a pest population will
establish itself. So, when you are
planning your spring garden, consider
bucking the tradition of large organized
crops. Perhaps we could call this
“cottage style” vegetable gardening.
Disperse your plant varieties into
different areas. This will help with pest
control. For example, if one planting
of lettuce should become infested
with aphids, your other areas may
go untouched and provide you with
uninterrupted harvest while you
remove or treat the infested plants.
Unlike a twenty-foot row of tomatoes
Onions
that will be a bigger lure to passing
sphinx moths (that produce tomato
hornworms), a few tomato plants
scattered about the garden in separate
areas may elude them. By having
squash mounds throughout the garden,
instead of just one location, you may
avoid losing the entire crop to squash
vine borers. Diversity could be as
simple as inter-planting some herbs
and flowers between your vegetables.
Adding flowering plants will add
cheer and draw beneficial insects that
will help to pollinate your vegetables
and keep pests in check. This more
haphazard type of design also mimics
nature’s whimsical, but beautiful style.
Successive plantings provide continual
harvests and are another way to thwart
pests in the organic garden. If pests
damage your first crop, they may be in a
different stage of their lifecycle and miss
your second or third planting sown a
few weeks later. Arugula, beans, carrots,
lettuce, mescluns, and mustards are
great varieties to sow every few weeks
throughout the summer. Plant them in
different areas each time, and pests may
Allium cepa H
You’re really only limited by your
imagination! A diverse organic garden
design with a bounty of varieties will
make pests pass your garden by for the
neat and tidy “All You Can Eat Buffet”
in your neighbor’s yard. It will also add
pleasure to your gardening experience
through its delightful array of sights,
scents, and flavors.

As you’re planning your garden, take
it to another creative level. Consider
combinations of plants that will make
attractive vignettes. Contrasting colors
like yellow and purple are stunning.
Try planting Canary Bell peppers with
Purple Petra Basil. Vary heights and
textures, like sowing clumps of spiky
chives inside a swath of mesclun for a
dramatic effect. Scented flowers will
also enhance your vegetable garden
experience. Consider planting lavender
or lemon balm in your vegetable
garden, so you can enjoy the fragrance
as you water and harvest your fresh
produce.

“As a community gardener,
I was faced with the onslaught of flea
beetles on my tomatoes at the beginning
of the season. Insecticidal soap mixed
with chili powder & garlic only deterred
the pests temporarily. I finally tried a fish
emulsion application twice in two week
intervals and was pleasantly surprised by
the results. My little plants thrived and
produced a bounty of tomatoes.”

Recipe
Swiss Chard
by Chef
David Gray
Niwot Tavern, Niwot, Colorado
INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
2 cups Swiss Chard Bright
Lights Blend, chopped p. 30
1/8 cup white wine
1/8 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
In a pan, toast garlic over medium heat with olive oil. Add swiss chard
and saute for 30 seconds. Add liquids and continue cooking for 1 1/2
minutes or until desired tenderness (cooking for longer will diminish
the color of the chard). Add salt and pepper to taste.
David Gray is a 1992 graduate of The
Culinary Institute of America. He spent
seven years in Aspen, Colorado at premiere
restaurants and resorts such as The Little
Nell Hotel. David continued his culinary
journey in the Denver area as Banquet

on to the Sous Chef position at the Loews
Denver. While there, he became interested
in healthy, organic techniques, which led
him to the Sunflower restaurant in Boulder,
Colorado then to the Niwot Tavern.
