<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">The black raspberry, <em>Rubus occidentalis,</em> is a black colored variant of the more common red raspberry, <em>Rubus ideaus.</em> As can be seen above, however, they are two completely different species.

<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">The black raspberry has also been called the "King of Berries" due to its reputed health benefits.

<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">The variety 'Black Jewel' has berries with a high sweetness and a pleasant aftertaste that remains after the berries have been eaten. The berries have a glossy appearance and make an eye-catching addition to the cultivation.</span></p>

<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</span></strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Soapwort is used, as its name suggests, as a soap, shampoo and detergent. Soapwort is a native useful plant that in traditional Sweden was often used both for washing textiles and for personal hygiene. Today it is used in acne treatments.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> The entire plant is useful, i.e. flowers, leaves, roots and stem. The soapwort contains fat-soluble substances that foam together with water. The highest concentration of the fat-soluble substances is found in the root. The foaming liquid can then be washed in, used as shampoo & soap or as a general cleaning agent.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><meta charset="utf-8"> <span>Despite its toxicity, Saponaria officinalis is used in cooking. It acts as an emulsifier in commercial tahini production and helps create an airy foam in beer brewing. In the Middle East, the root is used as an additive in the manufacture of halva to stabilize the oils and give halva its unique texture.<meta charset="utf-8"> characterized by.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The flowers smell sweet in the evenings and are diligent when it comes to attracting pollinators.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation</strong> :</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> Since the Soapwort is adapted to the Swedish climate, there are no difficulties in growing it outdoors here. It thrives in most soils, slightly clayey soils work best. Sun/partial shade are good locations. Grows 30-100 cm tall depending on the growing location.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> Soapwort can spread quite a bit via underground runners. So choose carefully where you plant it. Preferably fenced in and by itself if you don't want it to take over the crop.<strong data-mce-fragment="1"></strong></p>

<p data-mce-fragment="1"> 1st plant Gotu Kola: 1 year old - current height (rather <em>length</em> in this case) 20-40 cm<br></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Common names:</strong> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Gotu Kola, Pennywort, Brahmiwort, etc.<br data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Scientific name:</strong><em data-mce-fragment="1"> </em><em data-mce-fragment="1">Centella asiatica</em> / <em data-mce-fragment="1">Hydrocotyl asiatica<br data-mce-fragment="1"></em> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Family:</strong> Apiaceae</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong><span>Plant history & use:</span></strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Gotu Kola is a well-known medicinal plant that originates from Asia. It has long been used to relieve stress and anxiety, among other things. It is also commonly used for skin conditions such as eczema, wounds and acne as it improves the elasticity of the skin. Gotu Kola is an adaptogen and, like<span> </span><a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/ashwagandha-indisk-ginseng-withania-somnifera" title="Ashwagandha seeds" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">Ashwagandha<span> </span></span></strong></a>It is one of the few plants with a very wide range of uses in traditional medicine. There are a variety of scientific articles to read for those interested in learning more in depth.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> For purely medicinal purposes, extracts are made from the plant. However, its health-promoting properties can also be utilized in food and drinks.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">In Burma, for example, salad is often made with "Pennywort" as a base together with tomato, onion & peanuts etc. Tea is also brewed from the leaves or a cooling drink is made by pressing the fresh leaves.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">There are two different varieties of Gotu Kola:</span><br></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> One of them has whole, round leaves and is better suited to growing directly in water - but it also grows well in soil. This variety spreads horizontally by means of underground (/under the water surface) rhizomes that are slightly thicker than the leaf stem itself.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> The other variety has a small gap in its leaf shape right where the petiole meets the leaf - this variety spreads by means of long, narrow above-ground stolons like strawberries. Judging by its similar growth habit, it is not difficult to understand that Gotu Kola is also a good ground cover.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Both variants contain the same active ingredients, but it is the latter variant that is most often used in the manufacture of dietary supplements, etc. As can be seen in the pictures, our plants belong to the latter variant.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Culture:</strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> In its natural environment, Gotu Kola is often found growing in <span data-mce-fragment="1">water</span> , in damp soil, and along roadsides and hedgerows.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> It is an easy-to-grow and vigorous plant that thrives best in moisture-retaining soil in semi-shady locations. One advantage is to let it grow in airy soil with lots of organic matter as it requires moisture-retaining properties while excess water easily drains off/down into a basin. Gotu Kola can also grow in drier soils.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> The Gotu Kola plant spreads quickly, so if grown in a pot, a wide pot is preferable.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> This plant usually does not grow taller than 30 cm, but it does like to spread up to 1 m horizontally.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">For this reason, it is an effective ground cover in intercropping with other crops.</p>

Seeds from unusual and ancient cultivated plants are found here. Many of the plants have long been used by man for their useful properties - it may be about edibles as well as medicinal and household properties.
All seed varieties in the store contribute to a functional addition to the cultivation. Our seeds consist of open-pollinated and hand-pollinated heirloom varieties, we believe that a genetic diversity in the garden contributes to a healthier ecosystem that extends beyond the borders of our cultivations.
Plants are divided based on their different functions and characteristics - e.g. "Fruits & Berries" and "Medicinal plants" - via the filtering function on the right (below on mobile).
Plant history and cultivation description are available for all seeds.
NOTE. More unusual varieties are on the way!
Here you will find both super beautiful shoe models that are created specifically for gardening time and also other models that are well suited for different occasions in the garden. After our own search for good gardening shoes, we found the brand Rouchette, where we especially came to love their ankle boots insulated with neoprene. for the warmth and comfort they provide.
They have also designed a practical sole where no soil gets stuck and is taken into the home - the Frotte&Go system, exclusively developed and used by Rouchette. Rouchette is a family business from France for which we have become a dealer for good reason.
Without exaggeration, these are the most comfortable and practical boots we have ever had. That's where the idea came from to share their usefulness with other growers. The ankle boots are also great for the stable.
You can use the filter function below on the left to easily find the shoes you are looking for.
Here you will find books related to sustainable farming, food forest gardening, agroecology and other interesting knowledge about plants and their useful properties.
Take a look at PFAF's (Plants For A Future) book series - we have recently included all of their books in our range as we consider them to be a valuable source of useful plants for temperate gardens/cultivations.
