Bladderwrack

Fucus vesiculosus
The seaweed called the kelp is a very common sight along many areas of the seashore in the New England area and the Eastern seaboard of the American continent, it is also called the bladderwrack because of the bladder like pneumatic floats attached to the branches – it is found predominantly in the rocky beaches and areas which have some well defined low tide water marks on the shoreline. The kelp is seaweed, and has an olive green coloration, it is also spread out in regular branches, with each of the branches characterized by a peculiar spiraling shape, and the seaweed has a leathery feel and is slippery to the touch. Like most underwater sea weeds, the kelp has paired bladders, though some of the branches may sometimes be without any air bladders – these pneumatic structures keep the kelp floating in the tossing waters of the sea shore.

A Garden of Healing Herbs

There are four main stages of untaming the medicinal garden, and they can be practiced simultaneously, after being developed gradually over a period of years. The first stage is to grow herbs in beds of rows, circles, geometric or random patterns, in much the same way as vegetables are grown. The garden bed has a definite role in many landscapes. It is easy to plan and care for, easy to protect with fences, and easy to harvest from. These kinds of welldefined gardens are attractive and can be located close to the house for convenience and for the visual delight they offer. The particular design and layout of the herb bed can be as varied as the number of herbs being grown and the types of people growing them.
