Ariston Herbs: Nylandtia spinosa / Tortoise Berry Bush
http://aristonherbs.blogspot.com/2010/07/nylandtia-spinosa-tortoise-berry-bush.html
Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Nylandtia spinosa / Tortoise Berry Bush. The tortoise berry is a striking plant when covered in its masses of dainty purple flowers. Attractive and unusual spiny foliage, pretty red edible fruits and water-wise attributes all combine to make it a great choice for the discerning gardener. The lower 3 petals are fused in a boat-shaped structure and enclose the seven stamens and the style, and resemble the keel of a pea flower. Another distinguishing difference is that. A widesprea...

Ariston's Honeybees: The endangered honey bee – global implications
http://aristonhoneybee.blogspot.com/2009/09/endangered-honey-bee-global.html
Monday, September 7, 2009. The endangered honey bee – global implications. On a trip though the USA last year I heard this chilling quotation: ‘ If bees disappear from the surface of the Earth, man will have no more than four years to live.’. Once home, I began a flurry of research. The prediction (erroneously attributed to Einstein) was first written down in 1955. Today Colony Collapse Disorder has serious implications for plants, wildlife and yes – humans. COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER (CCD). Genetically mo...

http://aristonherbs.blogspot.com/2010/02/ariston-elemental-organics-birds-eye.html
Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Ariston Elemental Organics Bird's eye chili Mazavaroo. At last my Bird's eye chili plants are starting to fruit in abundance. The plants were grown from seed collected from my "Big Sis's" garden in Durban. These "Bird's Eye" chilies are really hot, on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate them a 9! With the first harvest I proceeded to make our favourite chili recipe called "Mazavaroo", a chili paste recipe hailing from the island of Mauritius. 1/2 cup of Bird's Eye Chilies. There ...
