Green Fingers Cucumber, Persian Baby (Hybrid)

🌿 Za’atar Oregano (Origanum syriacum) The Soul of Middle Eastern Flavor Experience the authentic, intoxicating aroma of the Levant with Za’atar Oregano (or sometimes spelled as zaatar). Also known as Syrian Oregano or Lebanese Oregano, this ancient herb is the primary ingredient in the legendary Middle Eastern spice blend of the same name. It offers a sophisticated "three-in-one" flavor profile—a bold, savory combination of Greek Oregano, Sweet Marjoram, and Thyme, finished with a subtle, spicy kick. With its beautiful, fuzzy silver-green leaves and rugged resilience, it is a must-have for any herb gardener or gourmet chef. 📜 Historical Heritage & The "Hyssop" Mystery Origanum syriacum is an herb of biblical proportions. Native to the rocky hillsides of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel, many scholars believe this is the true "Hyssop" mentioned in the Old Testament, used for thousands of years in purification rituals. In the Middle East, it is more than just a plant—it is a symbol of health and heritage. Historically, it has been wild-harvested for centuries, but as demand for the spice blend grew, it moved into the "Kitchen Gardens" of the Mediterranean. It is the heart of the Manakish (flatbread) tradition, where the herb is mixed with olive oil and sumac to create a breakfast staple that has fueled the region for generations. To grow Za’atar is to invite one of the world's most ancient and revered culinary traditions into your home. ✨ Product Highlights The "Spice Blend" Hero: The essential base for authentic Za’atar seasoning (typically mixed with sumac, sesame seeds, and salt). Unique Texture: Features soft, velvety, silver-gray leaves that are as ornamental as they are delicious. Drought-Tolerant Champion: Highly adapted to hot, dry climates; once established, it requires very little water. Pollinator Magnet: Produces spikes of delicate white-to-pale-pink flowers that are a favorite for honeybees and butterflies. Versatile Perennial: A hardy perennial in warmer zones (8–10) and a fast-growing, productive annual in cooler climates. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Origanum syriacum Plant Type Perennial Herb (Hardy in Zones 8–10) Height 18 to 24 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Flavor Profile Oregano, Thyme, and Marjoram blend Days to Maturity 80–90 Days Growth Habit Upright / Woody-based shrub 🌱 How to Grow Za’atar Oregano 1. Sowing the Seeds (Light is Essential):Za’atar seeds are tiny and require light to germinate. Indoors: Start 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Surface-sow the seeds onto a moist starting mix and press them in lightly. Do not cover with soil. Outdoors: Direct sow in late spring only after the soil has thoroughly warmed. Germination: Expect sprouts in 10–21 days. Keep the tray in a warm, bright spot. 2. The Perfect Location:Za’atar demands Full Sun and exceptional drainage. It thrives in "lean," rocky, or sandy soils. If your soil is heavy clay, we highly recommend growing Za’atar in a raised bed or a terra cotta pot to prevent "wet feet," which can cause root rot. 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to 12–18 inches apart. Watering: Water at the base of the plant. Avoid wetting the "fuzzy" leaves excessively. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Harvesting: For the best flavor, harvest the stems just before the plant flowers. This is when the essential oils are at their peak. 🍳 Culinary Inspiration: The Za’atar Blend To make your own garden-fresh Za’atar blend: Dry your Za’atar Oregano leaves and crumble them into a bowl. Add toasted sesame seeds, ground sumac, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix with high-quality olive oil and use as a dip for warm pita bread or as a rub for roasted chicken and vegetables. Garden Tip: Because of its silver, fuzzy leaves, Za’atar Oregano is highly resistant to deer and rabbits. Its strong, savory scent acts as a natural deterrent, making it a great "guard plant" for the edges of your garden. 🌿🫓🍋

Renee's Garden - These lovely climbing nasturtiums have charming soft primrose yellow flowers and bright green foliage, much different from the usual bold and brassy color mix. They grow easily in any well-drained soil and will gracefully disguise neglected areas or twine along a fence, trellis, or wall, providing a summer arbor of pretty lily-pad-shaped leaves and long-spurred flowers. As a wonderful bonus, both the bright flowers and leaves are deliciously edible with a spicy watercress flavor. Characteristics: Heirloom Selection Hummingbird favorites Pollinators & Beneficials Annual vine Spring/summer/fall bloom Frost tender Instructions - To start outdoors, sow seeds in spring once all danger of frost is over in full sun (or part shade in hot climates). Nasturtiums need no added fertilizer in most soils. Poke seeds into well-worked soil about 1 inch deep and 3 to 4 inches apart. Press the soil firmly over the seeds and keep them moist. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin 10 inches apart so plants will have ample room to grow. To start early indoors, sow 2 seeds each in individual 4-inch pots of well-drained seed starting mix 3 weeks before the last expected frost date. Cover 1 inch deep. Provide a strong light source. When seedlings have several sets of leaves, pinch out the weaker seedling leaving 1 per pot. After outdoor temperatures are evenly above 50°F (10°C) gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Transplant seedlings into the garden 10 to 12 inches apart in full sun. Climbing nasturtiums are very reliable and easy to grow in any well-drained soil. Help them to twine up their supports, then they’ll climb easily and bloom nonstop. Do not let plants dry out during the blooming season. You can also plant Moonlight to tumble along the ground. Plant in April-June for cold winters; March-July for mild winters Full sun or partial shade Sow seeds 3-4" apart; 1" deep 7-14 days to germinate Mature height: 4-6 feet Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.
