    Extractions: The Island is a sensory delight, the moment that you step off the boat you see the rugged mountainous scenery, clear blue sea and white sandy beaches. You can hear the water lapping on the quay side, the goat bells in the olive groves and the donkeys braying to each other across the valleys. Most of all however, you can smell the herbs, usually this is your first impression of Amorgos as the scent is carried in the air across the sea to the ship as you approach the island. There are a great variety of herbs but the predominant ones are: Amorgos Mint Basil Chamomile Fennel Marjoram Oregano Rosemary Sage Thyme The islanders still use these herbs both fresh and dried for both culinary and medicinal use in addition to making scented combinations to hang in rooms or cupboards. You can pick the herbs yourself and take them home with you or buy products all over the world which are made from them. These herbs are the ultimate in organic and natural produce.

    Extractions: Weird Science D. Andrew White M.Sc. - 04/08/2002 Herbology is one of the oldest sciences. Human beings have been using herbs for medicines for thousands of years, and almost every culture has had some herbal medicine tradition. Many modern medicines were derived, originally, from herbal remedies. In fact, it is a mystery as to how 'pre-scientific' cultures discovered some of these herbal concoctions. Some of the herbal effects are quite subtle, others require complex preparation, some herbs are only effective when mixed with other agents. How did our ancestors discover these remedies? This ancient knowledge is a true marvel (Davis 1996, Heatherley 1998). Worldwide today there is a belief that natural herbal medicines are safer and better than synthetic pharmaceuticals. The fact that almost everyone has an elder who is a herbalist has hindered us from taking a critical look at herbs. (No nice person wants to dis an elder!) For it is not commonly realised that not all of traditional herbal lore is accurate Scientific investigation has shown that herbal efficacy is due to natural chemicals in the herbs. In other words

    Extractions: Hardwood is wood (the xylem of the tree) that contains both tracheids and vessels Softwoods contain only tracheids. DIAGRAMS: Head Inflorescence PHOTOS: Heartwood is the xylem in the center of the tree that has stopped conducting water and minerals and is storing waste products from the plant. These waste products are of various types. In redwood trees these materials causes the heartwood to turn red. These products help to preserve the wood, particularly in redwoods. Heartwood can be contrasted with Sapwood , particularly in redwoods, because the heartwood is red and the sapwood is white. The sapwood is the portion of the xylem that is conducting water and minerals and hasn't started storing waste products. DIAGRAMS: Heartwood Heartwood PHOTOS: An herb is a plant that has a soft stem and is not woody. Plants that are herbs do not undergo secondary growth Herbaceous plants are plants that are herbs with soft, non-woody stems and no secondary growth Herbivores (as in herbs for seasoning) DIAGRAMS: PHOTOS: Nostoc Nostoc DIAGRAMS: Cotyledons PHOTOS: Horsetails are a group of tracheophytes that are characterized by stems and rhizomes that have ridges and furrows. In the stem are contained carinal and vallecular canals. The carinal canal is smaller of the two and is associated with the vascular bundle and is opposite the ridges of the stem and rhizome. The vallecular canal is opposite the furrows. Horsetails are in the division Sphenophyta and have only one genus, Equisetum. These plants are typically found in damp to wet habitats.

    Extractions: Pest Alerts Gardening Topics Home Gardening Information ... Garden Botany Grouping Plants by Form and Function Plants are grouped together according to their form or function in a variety of ways. One of the most obvious takes into account the overall form of the plant. Habit is one way of discussing overall form. Gardeners traditionally have grouped plants into broad categories on the basis of their overall appearance, or habit. The following is a list of the more common habits of plants: Trees : Woody plants with a single or few trunks near the base. Shrubs : Woody plants that branch near the base and therefore have several trunks. Lianas : Woody plants that climb on other plants and use them for support. They may climb via tendrils, hooks, pads, aerial roots, or other mechanisms. Herbs : Non-woody plants. There are several types of herbs, including: Forbs : Broad-leaved herbs. The famous Danish botanist Raunkiaer noted that the traditional classification of plants into trees, shrubs, herbs, and other categories based on habit does not take into account much of the ecology or lifestyle of the plants. He devised an alternative system, based on lifestyle and the position of buds (the points on a stem from which new shoots grow in the spring), with the following categories:

    Extractions: The Fresh Herbs of Summer F resh herbs are a key to a good recipe. They can add aroma to food, and this contributes more to a food's appeal than taste, since taste is limited to sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Herbs contain volatile oils which can be used to replace salt as flavor enhancers. But in order for us to smell the aroma, the aromatic molecules need to be in a vapor phase. These oils evaporate readily at normal temperatures and pressures, which is why herbs smell so good when hung in our kitchens or placed in salads. When herbs are warmed, as in sauces or even in our mouths, more molecules are released as vapors, making the sensation stronger and the food more appetizing. For herb lovers, the mint family, or Lamiaceae (or Labiatae), is the most eminent plant family of those with the strongly scented oils. Included among the 5,600 species of Lamiaceae are basil, mint, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, sage and thymeall part of our everyday selection of herbs. The active oil in mint is a remarkable substance called menthol. In On Food and Cooking Harold McGee says menthol raises the threshold temperature at which cold receptors in our skin begin to discharge. So our mouths feel cool, and a cool drink feels cold. This may account for mint's popular use as a complement to iced teas and other fun drinks. In dry herbs, the cell structure is broken down, making it easier to extract more oils, and making them more potent. When cooking with dry herbs, recipes usually call for less. Still, most fresh basil enthusiasts will argue that the aroma of dried basil can never compare to the sweet complexity of fresh leaves which adds subtle hints of anise and mint. Because oils evaporate, over a period of time dry herbs will lose their flavor. Storing them whole rather than ground, and in air-tight containers, will extend their shelf life.
