Plants Added To Drinks- The Drunken Botanist, A New York Times Best Seller

My Tequila Valentine So here’s what you’re gonna do: 1.5 oz good tequila, mezcal, or other agave-based spirit. .25 oz Campari .25 oz sweet vermouth .25 oz dry vermouth Fresh juice of one blood orange (about 2 oz). Shake over ice and pour into a glass filled with crushed ice or ice cubes. Garnish with citrus peel if you are so inclined.

blood orange This is a fantastic drink for people who like tequila but don’t like margaritas. (That’s me.) Also, it’s a great way to use winter citrus–any kind of blood orange, regular orange, or tangerine would work well. Would also be fantastic with grapefruit. Just be sure you squeeze it fresh as you are making and serving the drink–citrus juice gets bitter if you let it sit too long.

As for brands: I like a reposado tequila in this one. Try Don Julio if you don’t already have a favorite. Just make sure it says 100% Agave on the bottle. Make sure your vermouth is fresh (recently opened) and of good quality. Dolin is a good choice, but I injected an extra bit of awesomeness into this drink by making it with Punt e Mes and Vya.

OK, here’s the deal: cocktail-friendly plants for your own garden, at your bar or restaurant, or on your farm–we’ve got them. The Territorial Seed Company has put together a Drunken Botanist Plant & Seed Collection based on my book of the same name, and wholesale grower Log House Plants, based in Oregon, is supplying the plants to garden centers and other retailers on the West Coast.

Here’s a list of participating retailers on the West Coast who will be offering the Drunken Botanist Plant Collection in their stores in 2013. Meanwhile, I’ve put together several pages of growing tips and recipes for the plants in the c0llection. You can find all of that right here, but I’ll also put some individual links below. The Mixologist’s Simple Syrup Collection: Six herbs that lend themselves to simple syrups, infused vodkas, homemade liqueurs, DIY bitters, and flavored salts and sugars. The Farmers Market Vodka Garden: Six herbs and vegetables that make fantastic sweet and savory vodka cocktails. The Old Havana Rum Garden: Fruit and herbs to pair with rum drinks, including a hard-to-find authentic Cuban mint. The Heart of Agave Tequila Garden: Okay, we didn’t put a lime tree in this collection–it wouldn’t fit in the six-pack–but you’ll find other fantastic herbs and fruits to pair with tequila and mezcal.

The Southern Belle Whiskey Garden: As with the tequila collection, I would have included a peach tree if I thought we could fit one in a six-pack! Instead, we have herbs whose sweet and savory notes work very well with whiskey, including the true Southern mint for mint juleps–just add your own sugar and ice! The Old Tom Gin Collection: What herbs, fruits, and vegetables don’t go with gin?

One Tree Produces 40 Different Kinds Of Fruit

Here This looks like something out of the future, but apparently that future is now. One artist has figured out a way to grow 40 different kinds of stone fruit –- all on the same tree. The rendering of what the fully grown tree may look like, seen above, shows the multi-colored, pretty possibility. Sam Van Aken grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, where he first learned about grafting, a technique of joining two genetically similar plants together. “I had started to use it in my artwork creating these sort of hybrids of plastic fruit as an art exhibition,” Van Aken said. “And then the idea came of, ‘Could I make this real?’” Van Aken returned to his farming roots to learn more about grafting, and in the process discovered more about the food industry that informed the shape of the project. At the grocery store we only see essentially three different varieties of plums, apricots and so forth. I had found this orchard of over 200-plus varieties of plums and apricots, and they were going to tear the orchard out and it struck something in me where I was like, ‘We can’t tear this orchard out. We have to keep this,’” he said. Van Aken focused on stone fruits since there are so many varieties and they’re all genetically similar enough to graft, and thus his Tree of 40 Fruit was born. “When I place them somewhere I’ll go to local orchards and local farms and collect their heirloom varieties and graft them onto a tree,” he said. “That way it becomes a sort of agricultural history.” For now, Van Aken has trees that are three years old, but the results are already visually stunning. To fund the project, Van Aken uses money from the sales of the trees, plus a grant from Creative Capitalm an art granting institution for innovative artists. Van Aken said he hopes to eventually use the project to create a huge heirloom archive of all the different fruit species. “Essentially just an enormous orchard that had all these different heirloom and native varieties, and they’d be living trees,” he said.

The Hepatica is a small deep purple low growing perennial that prefers shade to sun. It's a hardy species and loves to be in moist zones of 4-9.

Buttercups, also known as daffodils are one of the first perennials to flower in early spring. In fact, old folks often says it will always snow on buttercups before spring and surprisingly, it usually does. They surely get in a rush to bloom the old timer's say:

Purple Coneflowers make a bold statement in a garden. They reach heights of 3 feet and stay bloomed for week in the mid summer months. Hummingbirds, butterflies and bees love the nectar in these beauties. They do well in zones 3-9 and are hardy and reseed themselves.This meaning they multiply and make more plants each year but are never invasive.

The Orange Day Lillies are a very unique yet delicate flower. Lillies are often the closest love next to roses for women of finer likings. Lillies are very subtle and often are used in the place of roses in weddings.
