essay and recipe: Late summer fruit, John Martyn, a flat cap and a great Sunday breakfast (Mark Diacono/Garden to Table). “… the old man’s hat and his easy morning pleasure remind me to fully enjoy what’s here while it’s here; that now is for the best of the late summer fruit, yellow fennel flowers as some turn to lime green fennel seeds, the lemony zing of Buckler leaved sorrel seed and other bright flavours.” Recipe for late summer fruit panzanella using fennel flower heads, sorrel (or lemon zest), and plenty of fruits including mirabelles (golden plums).
essay: Plant Profile – Actaea (Cathy Weston/Goldenrod Garden). “We are starting with my favorite shade perennial, the Actaea (formerly Cimicifuga) family, also known by the less-glamorous names of baneberry, bugbane, and cohosh. There are dozens of Actaea species around the world but the species I have grown, black cohosh (Actaea racemosa), red baneberry (Actaea rubra), and white baneberry (Actaea pachypoda), are the three native to New England.” From my observation, these plants seem equally happy along roadsides and in gardens.
