The Yellow Buttons Daisy prefers full sun and average garden soil that is well drained. Keep them well watered but not soggy. Plant these easy to grow daisies in the spring, 2 weeks before the last average frost date. Besides an annual groundcover, the Yellow Buttons can be used as a cut flower and it is excellent in window boxes, pots, and rock gardens. ... get more information
Spinach - New Zealand The Spinach New Zealand, 'Tetragonia expanse', is an Heirloom spinach that tastes like spinach but loves hot weather. The New Zealand provides continuous greens from May to October! Discovered by Sir Joseph Banks off the coast of New Zealand during the 1770 voyage of Captain James Cook and enjoyed by 18th century gardeners. New Zealand spinach provides the great spinach taste all summer long because it loves the heat. Just like other spinach, small, young leaves can be eaten raw or steamed. Plant in the spring around the last average frost date. To harvest, simply cut 3 to 4 inch leaves from the branches as you need them. Do this on a continual basis to encourage new growth of tender young leaves. |
