What happens when you remove the color from a pepper? The White Cloud Pepper is what happens. A lovely ivory hue, inside and out, glossy and pearly and sometimes tinged with purple. Like the clouds in the sky, they vary in shape and size from small to medium. Its bell pepper nature can’t quite be tamed, however, so the fruit turns green and then bright orange or red when it matures. The flavor endures as well. Sweet and mild with no heat and a definite crunch. Now, what happens when a gardener grows that white sweet pepper?

Let us tell you about Lettuce Leaf Basil. It’s a lovely Italian basil that grows huge leaves as big as your hand, with a flavor that’s sweeter and less spicy than other basils. Its crinkles hold onto dressing in salads, you need only one leaf for a sandwich or wrap, and you can use the rest as you would any other basil. Save the edible flower spikes to garnish seafood dishes and cocktails.

Harvest the leaves and stems from the top part of the plant, and pinch off edible flower buds as they appear, which prevents the leaves from turning bitter, and signals the plant to branch out and grow more leaves, making a bushier plant. The more you harvest, the more it grows!

• Sweet and mild
• Huge 5"-6" leaves
• Grows 1'-2' tall
• Good for containers
• Tons of medicinal benefits!

As a medicinal herb, Basil has been used internally to treat anxiety, colds, colic, cough, depression, diarrhea, fever, flatulence, flu, indigestion, insomnia, intestinal parasites and worms, exhaustion, gastric pain, gonorrhea, lactation problems, migraine headache, nausea, stomach cramps, sore throat, and vomiting, and externally to treat acne, insect bites and stings, loss of smell, skin problems, snake bites.

⚠️ Do not use medicinally while pregnant.

⚠️ Medicinal properties are presented as information only, and are not a recommendation or prescription for use. Consult a medical professional before using any herb medicinally.

As a companion plant, Basil attracts hummingbirds, pollinators, and beneficial insects, and repels asparagus beetles, cabbage moths, cabbage white butterfly, cabbage worms, carrot rust fly, flies, maggots, mice, mosquitoes, spider mites, thrips, and tomato hornworms.

Black Salsify, also called Scorzonera and Black Oyster Plant, is a cold hardy perennial in the aster and lettuce family grown for its thin root with rough black skin over white flesh that can grow 1'-3' long if it has the room. Take care when harvesting, as the roots are delicate and snap easily.  Any root left behind will re-grow!

It would be fun for a blind taste test, as the edible yellow dandelion-like flower petals smell like cocoa, the edible flower buds taste like okra, and the roots taste like oyster, asparagus, or artichoke, turning sweeter and earthier after a frost.

The stems and long, wide leaves that can grow 3'-4' tall are also edible. Delicious roasted, mashed, grilled, and pickled, or simply sautéed in a little butter for a rich, unusual side dish.

Are you looking to add a new pepper plant to your garden? Consider the Marconi pepper plant, a popular choice among gardeners for its mild flavor and versatility in the kitchen. Let's explore the ins and outs of growing this plant in your own backyard.

What are Marconi peppers?

Marconi peppers, also known as Italian frying peppers, are elongated, sweet peppers that are typically harvested when they are green or red. These peppers are prized for their thin walls, making them perfect for sautéing, grilling, or roasting. With a mild, slightly sweet flavor, Marconi peppers are a favorite in Mediterranean cuisine.

How to grow Marconi pepper plants

When planting Marconi pepper seeds, it's important to choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil. These plants thrive in warm weather, so make sure to plant them after the last frost date in your area. Space the plants about 18 inches apart to allow for proper growth.

Water the plants regularly, ensuring that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize the plants every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. As the peppers begin to develop, provide support for the plants to prevent them from bending or breaking under the weight of the fruit.

Harvesting and using Marconi peppers

Marconi peppers can be harvested when they reach their full size, typically around 6-8 inches in length. You can pick the peppers when they are green for a milder flavor or wait until they turn red for a sweeter taste. Simply cut the peppers from the plant using a pair of scissors or pruning shears.

These versatile peppers can be used in a variety of dishes, from stir-fries and salads to sandwiches and pasta dishes. Roast them for a smoky flavor, or pickle them to enjoy their crisp texture year-round. The possibilities are endless with Marconi peppers in your kitchen!

Are you ready to add the Marconi pepper plant to your garden? With the right care and attention, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of these delicious peppers throughout the growing season. Happy gardening!
