There is a paucity of evidence on Byzantine gardens, both textual and archaeological.
When we turn to monastic horticulture, however, the situation is somewhat less bleak, for both foundation documents (typika) and saints' lives shed occasional light on the gardens, vineyards, and orchards that provided food, drink, and eucharistic wine for the use of the resident monks or nuns.
A good water supply was an essential requirement for horticulture, and on this subject there is abundant archaeological material to supplement the information of saints' lives and typika.
Particularly in the area of Byzantine Palestine, systematic excavations and surveys at the lavras, monasteries, and hermitages in the Judean desert have uncovered detailed evidence about the systems of channels, cisterns, and rock pools (Figs. 4, 5) that provided water not only for horticulture but for other activities at the monastery, such as laundry, cooking, grinding grain, watering animals, and bathing.

Plant cloves in clusters or rows with enough room for easy harvest.
Like most gardeners, I enjoy perennials that have attractive blooms and nice foliage.
The false indigo, or Baptisia australis, grows 4 feet tall and produces long spires of blue flowers that resemble the sweet pea, to which it is related.
With most orchids, it is perhaps the alba, or solid white (without any color but white) that is the most desirable for hybridizing.
It is extremely rare that an "alba vs. alba" cross produces anything but alba plants.
Many gardeners find wildflowers both beautiful and useful, particularly because they cover broad, less than ideal spaces, such as low-lying wet spots and shaded areas.

Without a doubt, this has been one of the worst seasons for slugs that I have experienced.
Even when commercial slug baits have been applied, they are often washed away by heavy rainfall before they can do their work.
Although the most common result of slug feeding is ragged foliage, they often feed on the lower leaves of large plants that have grown close together.
Commercial slug baits are probably the most effective; however, many people refuse to use them, especially those who adhere strictly to organic gardening principles.

Ochratoxins are responsible for chronic nephropathy in pigs and also may be the cause of endemic Balkan nephropathy and some chronic interstitial nephropathies seen in North Africa and France [29].
The urinary sediment is unremarkable and no proteinuria is seen, except for a microproteinuria of tubular type.
Urothelial cancers are frequently associated with Balkan nephropathy [29,30].
A survey of homeproduced foodstuffs in the Balkans has revealed that contamination with ochratoxin A is more frequent in areas in which endemic nephropathy is prevalent (endemic areas) than in areas in which nephropathy is absent.
The withdrawal from the market of this herb has decreased the incidence of interstitial nephritis in Brussels, Belgium.

apriltips The use of plastic mulch can be beneficial in several ways but may also have drawbacks in some situations.
Benefits include earliness to harvest, soil moisture regulation, weed control, reduced fertilizer leaching, improved produce quality, reduced soil compaction, protection of roots and, in general, a potential for improved plant growth.
Black plastic mulch is beneficial for warming the soil, which can result in increasing the springtime soil temperature up to a level, which is suitable for plant growth earlier than will occur on bare soil.
On Saturday, June 8th, the Oklahoma Gardening TV program and OBGA will present the first annual Summer Gardenfest.
