Home depot just got in a shipment from the local nursery and they have all sorts of small plants/vegetables/herbs available for $0.99 each. I didn’t know what most of them were, but I bought 10 of them anyways.
I got a tomate, ruda, oregano, mejorana, limoncillo, habichuela, curis and albahaca de cocinar. Tomorrow they will make there way into the new garden bed :).
[...] the reason for this was that it was missing a gasket. I called Summer (she was at home depot buying plants and asked her to pick me up a couple of 1/2 inch gaskets. Well, that did the trick at the thread [...]
mejorana–marjoram; a milder, sweeter type of oregano flavored herb
limoncillo–looks like a type of thyme; perhaps lemon thyme hence the limoncillo
habichuela(s)–general boricua word for bean(s); green beans usually refered to as “habichuelas tiernas” translation “tender beans” in Mexico they call them “ejotes”; not sure what type of bean you got–must wait for pods to show.
Hey guys,
This is what I found on ruda on a Spanish website…sounds interesting, I will translate:
La ruda es una planta medicinal. Huele bastante desagradable. Se puede utiliza en infusión para algún dolor. Se usa la planta en las elaboraciones de ciertos licores alcholicos. Algunas personas les gusta el olor de esta planta. Es traditional, contra las moscas. Tambien mucha gente dice que te da suerte con el dinero si la tienes en casa.
Ruda (or rue) is a medicinal plant. It smells rather unpleasant. It can be used in an infusion to treat some aches and pains. It is also used to make some alcoholic drinks. Some people like the smell of the plant. It is traditional and useful in keeping away flies. Also a lot of people say that it gives luck with money if you keep it in the house…
