Hand-Held Dibbler
Farmers around the world spend a great deal of time planting in the beginning of the growing season. With bulbs and starter plants, much of this time is spent bent over digging holes in raised beds or soil. The hand-held dibbler presented in this fact sheet is a fast, efficient tool for generating consistent, depth-controlled holes. It is faster than a bulb planter because the soil is not removed from the bed. Note: This publication is not available in hard copy from the Publications Distribution Center.

Harvesting and Preserving Herbs and Spices for Use in Cooking
Cooks realize that most recipes will require herbs and spices as ingredients to flavor dishes. Instead of relying on herbs and spices purchased from the grocery store, gardeners can grow, harvest, and preserve their own. The method used for harvesting herbs and spices is dependent on the plant part desired. Separate fact sheets have been written on each commonly used herb with detailed descriptions of the plant part used as well instructions for their use in a recipe. This publication is available in PDF only; it is not available in hard copy from the Publications Distribution Center.

No fungal fruiting structures are found in the canker.

Herb and Spice History
Before learning about the history of herbs and spices, it is necessary to define these terms. Herbs are the fresh and dried leaves generally of temperate plants and are usually green in color. In Pennsylvania, we live in a temperate climate characterized by summers and winters of similar length. Spices are the flowers, fruit, seeds, bark, and roots typically of tropical plants and range from brown to black to red in color.
