Furthermore, the Golden Himalayan Raspberry has been shown to be rich in other beneficial substances, including polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, tannins and terpenoids.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> In local communities where raspberries grow wild, consumption of the berries is still practiced as in the past. The berries are sold in local markets in the Himalayan region (Manandhar. NP).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The inner bark is valued as a medicinal herb in traditional Tibetan medicine.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">In forest horticulture, the plant is traditionally grown in living fences in the northwestern Himalayas, where it helps to keep out livestock and other animals; mark land boundaries; while providing a range of medicinal and edible uses (Pankaj Sharma &amp; Usha Devi). The plant is also useful in preventing soil erosion and for other soil conservation purposes (Manandhar. NP).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> This species is also used in raspberry breeding programs, where it is crossed with certain varieties to impart its resistance to diseases and to improve its adaptability to warmer climates (Janick, J. &amp; JN Moore).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> From the berries, you can (surprisingly) extract a <em>blue-purple</em> dye that can be used in natural dyeing (Grae. I.).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Culture:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The Golden Himalayan Raspberry is said to be an evergreen shrub in its natural environment - possibly even in the mildest parts of our country. The shrub produces a cluster of stout, thorny, upright stems from a woody rootstock. The shrub usually grows 1-3 m tall, sometimes up to 4.5 m.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Easy to grow plant that thrives best in well-drained clay soil. Good hardiness to freezing temperatures, exact hardiness is difficult to find due to its rarity in commercial cultivation, but cases of hardiness down to -20ºC have been reported ( <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;"><a style="color: #000000;" rel="noopener" title="Variability in Vegetative Characters and Yield Attributes of Raspberry (Rubus spp.) in Uttarakhand Himalayas" href="https://doi.org/10.1080/15538362.2013.817774" target="_blank">AK Trivedi</a></span> )</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> More shade tolerant than many other species in the Raspberry genus (Rubus sp.). However, the best location for maximum fruit set is a sunny location.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Annual harvest from wild specimens in the Himalayas is about 750 g from a bush occupying an area of ​​2.5 m² (Parmar. C. and Kaushal. MK).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The shrub is self-fertile and pollinated by insects. New stems are produced each year from the perennial rootstock, these stems set fruit in their second year and then die off to be replaced by last year's fruit-bearing stems the following year.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Root tubers collected from plants in Java showed nitrogen-fixing activity and can be assumed to fix their own nitrogen like most plants in the Fabaceae family (MJ Van Steeniis-Kruseman).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</strong></p> <p> NOTE: These seeds have been stratified (cold period) and can therefore be sown immediately after receipt.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Sow the seeds in moist soil.

<p>SEEDS (20 pcs/bag)</p> <p><strong>Common name:</strong> Harmel bush, Syrian rue<br><strong>Scientific name:</strong> <em>Peganum harmala</em><br><strong>Family:</strong> Zygophyllaceae</p> <p><strong><span>Plant history & use:</span></strong></p> <p>The harmel bush is a historically well-known plant and is still used today in calming medicines—mainly in the Middle East, North Africa, and southwestern Asia, but also in Finland it is a prescription medicinal plant.</p> <p>It is the roots and seeds that are used, which are either made into a decoction, ground down, or from which oil is extracted.</p> <p>The seeds are also used to dye fabrics, giving a red color.</p> <p>The mature seeds contain 3.8 - 5.8% of the alkaloids harmine, harmaline, harmalol, and peganin. They are harmless as contact poison for humans and animals but in vapor form they are active and effective against algae and deadly to mold, bacteria, and intestinal parasites.</p> <p>There are speculations that this plant was the sacred "Soma" plant, used in ancient India and Persia as a hallucinogenic aid to "understand the deeper meaning of life".</p> <p>Seeds are also used as incense.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation</strong>:</p> <p><span>The harmel bush is a low-growing (0.5-1 m), perennial shrub.</span><br><span></span></p> <p><span>The key to successful cultivation of the harmel bush is well-drained soil. Not sensitive to sandy and nutrient-poor soils. Mediterranean soil works excellently. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Prefers an open location with full sun.</span></p> <p><span>Can be grown outdoors in Sweden. The harmel bush withstands temperatures down to -20°C and survives the winter despite shedding its foliage, thanks to its strong root system. The likelihood of successful outdoor overwintering is higher if the bush grows in dry soil rather than moist soil.</span></p> <p><strong>Sowing</strong>:</p> <p>Sow either indoors in pots or outdoors in open ground from May to September.</p> <p><strong>Characteristics</strong>:</p> <p>Longevity: Perennial<br>Growing position: sun<br>Height: 50-100 cm<br>Germination time: 1-8 weeks<br>Hardiness zone: 1-5</p>

Because of this confusion and the rarer occurrence of Sacred basil, Thai basil is sometimes mistakenly used in cooking where Sacred basil is actually the correct ingredient. An example of such use can be found in the Thai dish Pad Kaprao, which is named after the Sacred basil’s Thai name <em>kaprao</em>. The difference between these two basils is that Thai basil is sweeter and more licorice-like while Sacred basil is spicier and more peppery, hence the name <em>Hot Basil</em> sometimes used as a designation.</p> <p>Besides cooking, the plant’s leaves and flowers are also used to make calming tea.</p> <p>As one of the most applied ancient medicinal plants, Sacred basil has been used to treat, among other things, common colds, headaches, and various stress disorders.

The shrub is often valued for its ability to cope with conditions of lower temperatures.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Origin is traced to the Himalayas and Manchuria.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The fruits are also often used to make juice, jams, marmalades and other preserves.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The seeds are used to produce an oil that is used in cooking (Fern, K.).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Oil extracted from the seeds is also applied to muscle pain caused by overexertion (Chopra. RN et al.). The oil is also applied to the forehead and temples to treat and relieve colds (Manandhar. NP). The fruit is used in Chinese medicine.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The seed contains about 21% fatty acids (Chopra. RN et al.). In addition to being edible, it can also be used for lighting.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The oil cake (what is left after pressing the oil from the seeds) is used for washing clothes (Manandhar. NP).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> A deep purple color from the fruits is also used to paint windows and walls.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The Himalayan Cherry Principesia is grown as a hedge in the Himalayas.

Sometimes it is mixed with lemongrass, honey, and lime.</p> <p>Butterfly Pea is also used in traditional medicine as a relaxant and memory enhancer.</p> <p>The normally blue-colored drink shifts to a light purple color if something sour, such as lemon, is added. This is due to pH changes in the composition. Similarly, Butterfly Pea flowers are sometimes used to make blue gin that turns purple when tonic is added.</p> <p>As a comparison, one can think that tea made from Butterfly Pea is used in Asia in the same way we use chamomile tea in Sweden.</p> <p>Like the <span style="color: #4e991d;"><strong><a style="color: #4e991d;" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/goabona-vingbona-psophocarpus-tetragonolobus" title="Goaböna / Vingböna (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus)" target="_blank">Goa bean</a></strong></span>, Butterfly Pea is regenerative for the soil as it fixes nitrogen from air pores in the soil and works well as a ground cover crop. However, Butterfly Pea is generally not hardy in Sweden, unlike the Goa bean.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation:</strong></p> <p>Butterfly Pea is a sun-loving, fast-growing plant that quickly establishes itself if it has something to climb on.</p> <p>Growing in pots is recommended if you want it to become perennial in Sweden. Overwinter frost-free.</p> <p>Can grow in both moist and dry soils. Thrives surprisingly well in heavy clay soils. For pot cultivation, a humus-rich soil with good drainage should be used.</p> <p>Pinch branches for a bushier growth habit.</p> <p><strong>Sowing:</strong></p> <p>Start indoors early in the year, or sow outdoors in April-May.</p> <p>Soak the seeds for 1 day in advance. Sow in moist soil and preferably cover with plastic with small air holes to maintain good moisture.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8">Seeds from Butterfly Pea often germinate irregularly; one seed can sometimes sprout a whole month earlier than another seed in the same sowing. If you want more control over the whole process, Butterfly Pea seeds are easy to germinate on a piece of moist paper. Place the paper in, for example, a food container with the lid slightly ajar – keep moist. Now you can easily see when each seed starts to sprout and gradually pick out seed by seed and sow in a small pot with soil.</p> <p><strong>Characteristics:</strong><br></p> <p>Life span: Perennial <br>Light: sun <br>Height: 150-300 cm <br>Germination time: 10-20 days</p>
