The “Z” in the Hausgarten.net glossary is introduced by lemon balm, one of our most popular garden herbs at the moment.
The lemon balm is justifiably popular, native to the eastern Mediterranean, the plant grows willingly in any temperate zone. If it gets a warm and dry location on nutrient-rich soil, it will develop it grows into a perennial plant that will keep you going for a very long time with its pleasantly lemon-scented leaves provided. The herb of the older plant gets a tart aroma, but if you don't like that, you can always propagate the lemon balm by cuttings. Lemon balm is harvested just before flowering, when the leaves have the highest concentration of aroma and essential oils. Lemon balm can be used in many different ways in the kitchen.
However, lemon balm also represents all the other herbs that we could grow to great benefit in the home garden and there is much more to come rarely do: wild garlic, basil, mugwort, savory, dill, tarragon, chervil, garlic, caraway, lavender, lovage, bay leaves, horseradish, Peppermint, parsley, sage, chives and thyme naturally belong in the spice cupboard of every reasonably gifted and experienced person hobby chef. As these herbs all grow in our gardens, often as readily and easily as the lemon balm, the question quickly arises as to why at least the garden owners among us don't use all of them grow fresh. This not only saves a noticeable amount of money, but you are dealing with a completely different level of freshness do than with those spices sold dried that you never know how long they've been on the shelf stand.
The letter “Z” then also contains other glossary entries, such as crabapple and cyprus grass, lemon tree and indoor fountains and ornamental tobacco described, and if you miss an entry, either wait a little longer (the glossary is constantly being updated), or write and write one E-mail.
