Experience I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.
Question I want to grow culantro but cannot find the seeds or a starter in Maryland any suggestions on where I should look?
Answer Najla:
I have the shadow bennie plants.I have never tried shipping them yet.They are small & slow growers in cooler weather. They are difficult to grow and must have the right shade & heat to produce good growth. My web site will be up in Nov. and will be posted on the site.(ask the herbman.com). I sell then now at David's natural market in Columbia every sat.&sun. until sept. or october.
