Communities, families and relationships are
nurtured by sharing what you love with the
people you care about. At Botanical Interests,
we’re always excited to share inspiration and
education with our gardening community.
It enriches everything we do; we love to see
successful seed gardeners. We're grateful when
you take the time to share your experiences and
knowledge with us! It reminds us just how great
our community is.
As Curtis and I reflect on the last 19 years, we
recognize time and again, that it has often been
our community that has sustained us. Friends,
family, employees, and you, our gardening
community have kept us in touch with what’s
important.
This year’s catalog is meant to pay homage to the
community we love. When you Share What You
Know our community gets smarter and better at
complementing one another’s strengths. When
you Share What You Grow we get stronger, more
appreciative and grateful for the bounty we can
produce together.
As you flip through these pages you’ll see the
seeds we love to share as well as the tips, recipes
and articles our community has shared with us.

I often hear the exclamation,
"There's mold on my sprouts!" While
possible, it's unlikely you'll get mold
when you follow the directions on
our sprouts packets. The "mold" is
actually part of the growing sprout
called root hairs (see picture). These
incredibly fine filaments can resemble
mold and often show up between
rinsing, giving the impression that
something other than sprouts is
growing. As long as you practice
good sanitation, rinse frequently
and there are no bad smells, you
can safely enjoy your fresh, delicious
sprouts.

are just a few. Sow seeds late fall to early winter. Add a layer
of mulch such as leaves or straw. As soon as things start
warming in spring, you'll have early veggies.

Super-Food Smoothies!
There are a million smoothie recipes out
there. They are a great way to include the
benefits of fresh, raw food into our diet.
Here’s the general formula I use to make
my smoothies. In a blender, lightly pack about 1/3 with
leaves of kale, chard, spinach or beets…I skip the lettuce.
The remaining 2/3 of the smoothie can be any combination
of fruit you like. I personally like banana and frozen
blueberries but try any combination of apples, mangoes,
pineapple, melons, peaches, or whatever you like. Add a
small amount of your favorite supplement, such as protein
powder or flax seed oil, plus liquid to facilitate the blending
— water or juice is best. Blend until smooth. Enjoy then
experiment! Watch your smoothies change throughout the
season and share your favorite recipes!

A SPICY BITE OF HISTORY
There are few travelers in history with lasting global
influence. But there is one that kept company with
Columbus, has been to every continent, has been around
since 7500 BC and continues to be highly influential
today! That humble traveler is the pepper.
Given its name by Columbus because of a perceived
spicy relationship to black pepper, chili peppers are the
second most common food on earth behind only salt in
quantity consumed! Historical records show that about
50 years after Columbus brought the spicy pods back to
Spain, they were being grown throughout Europe, the
Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia and the African
coast.
It turns out that peppers come packed with health
benefits. The antioxidants in peppers are shown to
protect the cardiovascular system and they have one of

the highest vitamin C contents of any edible plant, not
to mention being antibacterial and antifungal. But it’s
the heat, and the endorphins it releases, that often has
people coming back for more. When you find yourself
overwhelmed by spice, many people know to down the
dairy products. But did you know that cold sugar water
works just as well? It does.
The human affinity for spicy pain may not seem sensible,
but the evolution of pepper’s heat does. It is theorized
to have a very specific purpose – seed protection.
Capsaicin, the chemical that gives peppers their heat,
can stop pathogenic microorganisms and animals that
eat the fruit but crush the seeds. Interestingly, birds are
unaffected by capsaicin. Since they swallow the seeds
whole, there is no need to repel them, and they kindly
deposit the seeds with a little fertilizer.
Whether you like it hot, or not, there is something for
everyone to appreciate about peppers.

SHARING THE HARVEST
Judy
loves to share the
Botanical
Interest
test
garden with others. One of
her favorite places to donate
some of the veggies she
grows is Community Food
Share,
a
great
local
organization that helps feed those in need. One early fall
day she grabbed a basket full of Swiss chard, kale and basil
and headed out.
Community Food Share in Louisville, Colorado, distributes
over 8 million pounds of food each year to local agencies
and families. They’re a dependable source of help for
community members in need. During Judy’s visit, Tom
Reed, Food Procurement Manager, told her donations of
fresh produce from local gardeners are “the best produce we
get” and “highly coveted,” because they increase the
nutritional value of their offerings. She also learned that
anyone and any size donation makes a difference. Tom
Swiss Chard
Ruby Red/Rhubarb
assured her that donations of all sizes are welcome, saying,
“You’re not going to feed everybody we serve, but you’re
going to feed somebody.”
A few tips from Tom made it obvious that anyone could
donate. Produce that is fresh and whole overshadows any
superficial flaws they have. Bundled stems of herbs and
greens and boxed fruits and vegetables make them easier to
handle and distribute. Tom also suggested considering
delivery part of the donation. Many food banks can’t pick
up food so delivering your donation is a blessing to them.
We can all make a difference. When we all do a little we can
accomplish a lot. To find your local food bank, go to

disease resistance, uniformity, vigor and shorter crop times, we’re sure you’ll like
them as much as we do.

Donating your extra produce is easy when you follow these tips:

• Bundle loose stems like herbs, leafy greens, or bunching onions.
• Start small. It makes a difference when we all give a little.
• Make delivering the donation part of your gift; it matters!

Tomato Magic
Every cook has something in their arsenal that is the equivalent of culinary pixie
dust. Well, I’d like to share something with you that’ll make you forget all about
pixie dust—it’s tomato dust.
It’s really simple to make, here’s how:
Step 1: Wash and core ripe tomatoes.
Step 2: Cut into ½-inch pieces.
Step 3: Put into food dehydrator or on baking sheets in
an oven set as low as it will go.
Step 4: Dry the tomatoes until they’re crispy and brittle.
Step 5: Grind them into a powder.
This versatile red powder wakes up the flavor of soups,
sauces, savory baked goods, eggs or anything you can think of!

Drying the herbs from your garden is a great way to
ensure your spice cabinet’s contents are fresh, flavorful
and free of pesticides and preservatives. Herb drying
is easy, and best of all, you can share these herbs with
friends in prepared combinations perfect for cooking.
Making your own drying rack is easy and inexpensive. Materials include:
an 8’ piece of wood trim, plastic screening (window material), nails, staple
gun and cooking twine. Cut the trim into pieces of 2 ½’ x 1 ½’ to make a
rectangle. Nail the trim pieces together and then use a staple gun to secure
the screening material to the bottom of your rack.
Cut your herbs first thing in the morning. Bundle them together with
cooking twine and rest on drying rack with adequate spacing between
varieties. Let the herbs dry for a week in a
cool location inside. Once dry, place the herbs
on parchment-lined plates.
Next, gently rub the leaves, seeds and flowers
off the stems of the dried herbs. Measure out
the portions by sliding them from the
parchment to a measuring cup. Transfer the
completed blends into recycled sterilized jars.

Mini bouquets SAY YOU CARE!
Diane Strong, owner of Niwot Florist, in
cozy Niwot, Colorado, is a big believer in
the power of flowers. She says, “You don’t
need a big bouquet to show someone you
care—it’s the little things that let people
know they’re loved and flowers say it
best.”
During a recent visit, Diane shared some tips for creating her
popular mini bouquets:
• Start with a small vase or other cute miniature container.
• A few larger focal flowers finish the arrangement and add a
spectacular pop of color. Try cosmos, butterfly flower,
delphinium or mini sunflowers.
Some bouquets are naturally whimsical in design when
inspired by a hodge-podge of flowers collected from the
garden and chosen for their unique color, texture and size.
Any flower leaning towards the petite side is fair game. Once
your imagination gets rolling you’ll find that the possibilities
are endless!
• Always use a sharp knife rather than scissors to cut the
stems at an angle. Using scissors crushes the stem and hinders
water uptake.
• Create the base of your arrangement from foliage, herbs, or
seed heads like dill, fennel or parsley.
• Next, layer in filler flowers. Choose petite varieties like
forget-me-nots, yellow buttons daisy, scarlet or blue flax, and
cottage pinks.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
For years I heard that marigolds
were edible. I didn't believe it. It
wasn't until I stumbled upon signet
marigolds that I realized that it was
true and that they could be a
beautiful and tasty treat to pluck
from the garden. These little ‘gems’
come packed with a tangy citrus
flavor that is as bright and cheery
as their orange and yellow
blossoms. The rugged plants are
easy to grow, pest resistant,
attractive to beneficial insects, long
blooming and a constant source of
bright and interesting flavor for
fresh dishes.

FLOWER FEAST
Ellen T, Accounting - Botanical Interests
Ever eaten a flower? It’s exciting and
delicious! When invited to a potluck, I
bring a salad of mixed greens topped
with the usual tomato, cucumber,
carrots —and pansies! It’s always
entertaining to watch the guests’
reactions as they realize the salad is
adorned with some unusual shapes
and colors. Pansies (and violas) have a
mild flavor but pack a visual punch
with their brightly colored petals. My
flower garden can often be found in
the kitchen livening up baked goods,
jellies, syrups, vinegars, honey, oil and
tea.
One of my favorite edible flowers is
nasturtium. It adds vivid color and a
slightly peppery tang to salads, dips
and sandwiches, not to mention the
gatherings I serve them at. Lavender

hyssop flowers are refreshing in iced

flavor to cakes, breads and honey. My
herb garden often grows so
enthusiastically that I can’t harvest all
the plants before they start to flower.
So the flowers of my basil, borage and
chives go into salads or summer
beverages, and chive blossoms make
beautiful vinegar. Perhaps one of the
most well known edible flowers is the
squash blossom. Stuffed with cheese
and seasonings or other fillings, then
fried or baked, they are beautiful,

Poppies are so
easy to sow! Just
scatter them on the
ground where you
want a burst of
spring color. To
make sure you get even coverage try this:
Evenly mix a cup of play sand with a
packet of poppy seeds. Put the mixture in
a repurposed shake cheese can and
sprinkle away. The sand helps spread out
the seeds and show you exactly where
they are.
