Caraway is an ancient aromatic herb, famous for being the spice in rye bread and German sauerkraut. A biennial in the carrot family that grows 1'-3' tall, with feathery foliage and tiny white flowers. The seeds, which have an earthy-citrusy-peppery flavor, are the most used, but the flowers, leaves, stems, and root (which looks like a small parsnip, and can be used like any other root vegetable) are also edible. While you’re waiting for the flowers, seeds, and roots to develop in the second year, spend the first year using the leaves, which have a parsley-dill flavor, in salads, soups, and sautés.

• Parsley-dill flavor
• All parts are edible
• Culinary and medicinal uses
• Good for containers

As a companion plant, it attracts pollinators and beneficial insects, and repels aphids, cabbage moths, cabbage white butterfly, cabbage worms, carrot root fly, and caterpillars.

As a medicinal herb, Caraway has been used internally to treat asthma, bad breath, bloating, colds, colic, cough, flatulence, heartburn, indigestion, insomnia, lack of appetite, nausea, sore throat, and stomach cramps, and externally to treat arthritis, bruises, burns, skin irritation, toothache, and wounds.

What is Caraway?

Caraway is a biennial. This means it takes two years for the plant to mature, produce seeds, then die. During the winter you may not see any evidence of the plant even though the roots are preparing for spring. So mark your spot carefully so you don’t accidentally dig them up in the spring.

An interesting legend that goes along with Caraway is that it had the power to prevent the theft of objects that had seeds nearby and it also kept lovers from losing interest in one another.  Still, some believe Caraway has beneficial healing powers and you can use the oil, fruit and seeds as medicine.

Health Benefits of Caraway

Women can use Caraway oil to relieve menstral cramps. Feeling bloated or have a bit of indigestion? Chewing on a few Caraway seeds can help relieve your symptoms!

Ways to Consume Caraway

If you want to consume the leaves, pick them when they are young and tender. The roots are also edible when the plant is young.  Use Caraway seeds in baked goods, such as breads, and buns.  Add them to vegetable and fruit dishes, especially curries.  Use leaves and seeds alike to make hot and cold teas.

Caraway seeds have a sharp, pungent, slightly licorice taste that’s is delicious with green beans, potatoes, cabbage, onions, brussels sprouts, tomatoes, and apples. Try mixing it with cucumber and sour cream. It’s delicious with sausage and beef.

The Ashley cucumber is a popular variety among gardeners, particularly those interested in cultivating high-quality vegetables. This cucumber type is known for its exceptional flavor, crisp texture, and versatility in culinary applications. The Ashley cucumber is classified as a slicing cucumber, making it ideal for fresh consumption in salads, sandwiches, or as a refreshing snack.

One of the defining characteristics of the Ashley cucumber is its growth habit. It is a vigorous, high-yielding plant that can produce an abundance of fruit throughout the growing season. Typically, the Ashley cucumber reaches maturity approximately 55 to 60 days after planting, allowing for a relatively quick turnaround from seed to harvest. This rapid growth cycle is particularly advantageous for gardeners looking to maximize their vegetable output within a limited timeframe.

In terms of physical attributes, the Ashley cucumber is characterized by its dark green skin, which is smooth and free from spines. The fruit typically grows to a length of about 8 to 10 inches, making it a suitable size for slicing. The flesh of the Ashley cucumber is firm and has a mild, sweet flavor profile, which is often preferred by consumers over other cucumber varieties.

From a nutritional standpoint, cucumbers, including the Ashley variety, are low in calories and high in water content, making them an excellent choice for hydration. They also provide essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin K, vitamin C, and potassium. Incorporating Ashley cucumbers into a balanced diet can contribute to overall health and wellness.

When cultivating Ashley cucumbers, it is important to consider their growing conditions. This variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. Adequate sunlight is crucial, as Ashley cucumbers require at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth. Regular watering is also essential, particularly during dry spells, to ensure consistent moisture levels in the soil.

In terms of pest and disease management, the Ashley cucumber is relatively resilient; however, gardeners should remain vigilant for common cucumber pests such as aphids and cucumber beetles. Implementing integrated pest management strategies, including crop rotation and the use of beneficial insects, can help mitigate potential infestations.

In conclusion, the Ashley cucumber variety is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. Its rapid growth, high yield, and superior taste make it a valuable addition to any vegetable garden.
