Scented geraniums are edible and come in a variety of flavors. Loercher suggests putting some leaves on the bottom of a cake pan before putting in the batter. When the cake is baked, the leaves should be pulled off, and the top dusted with confectioners sugar, leaving a leafy imprint and scent. Some herbs are enjoyable just for their beauty. Loercher suggests using silver mound as a border plant, especially with geraniums. Artemesia and parsley also make good borders. Camomile,also known as ground apple, was used in England on bowling greens. Loercher notes that it is a spreader. In addition to its use in teas for relaxation, camomile tea will also prevent plants from damping off, Loercher notes. Sweet woodruff makes an ex cellent groundcover and is associated with may wine and strawberry punch. It can be used Ayrshire. The pageant is open to the public and will be followed by an ice cream social. The ice cream will be donated by Meyers Dairy and Don Boiler’s Dairy Queen of State College.

Hoi Gardening in potpourri as well. Loercher makes it clear that while books abound on the uses of herbs, little good information is available on using them for medicinal purposes. Comfrey is one herb that is considered healing, if the leaf is bruised and put on a black and blue mark or sprain. Comfrey will spread, and has a 25-foot long root system. The young leaves can be used in tossed salads. Comfrey should be allowed to flower and can be sheared with a hedgetrimmer. It can be separated early in the year. When the season is ending, of course, the herbs may be dried, and Loercher says they will last for about a year. If in doubt, he suggests crushing the herb to see if it has retained its strength of flavor and smell. Loercher encourages anyone to try to raise herbs, and though certain ones may not be suc cessful, he stresses that they should be tried again in a new location. Herbs offer enjoyment in the successful cultivation, and in the delicious eating which follows. /WELLS! ICARGOi
