Daisy - White Buttons
The Daisy White Buttons, 'Chrysanthemum paludosum', has masses of small 1/2 to 1 inch white flowers with yellow centers that bloom for months and months. The bright white flowers look radiant in the light of a full moon. There are so many flowers, it is hard to see the foliage. They bloom continually from spring until fall. Shear the White Buttons Daisy back in mid summer to encourage better fall bloom. The White Buttons Daisy prefers full sun. The White Buttons prefers moist, rich, well drained soil and needs to be kept well watered. Cut spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Plant in early spring, 2 to 3 weeks before the average last frost date. The White Buttons Daisy makes excellent cut flowers and is used in window boxes, pots, rock gardens and as an edging plant. ... find out more
Mache Corn Salad - Big Seeded The Mache Corn Salad Big Seeded, 'Valerianella locusta', has the mildest flavor and softest texture of any salad green. We chose the big-seeded Mache variety because it handles spring/summer heat without getting bitter. It tastes delightful cooked quickly like spinach and combines nicely with fruits and vegetables. In northern climates, plant in early spring as soon as the ground is workable. In mild climates, plant in the fall for winter harvest. Mache prefers fertile, moist, and well drained soil. To harvest, simply cut off at ground level. The leaves can be picked off when they are 1 to 2 inches long.
