Summer savory

Just learned summer savory is a companion to onion and beans as it deters the Mexican bean beatle. Thought I would share

summer savory is a popular herb for the french acadian dishes here in n. maine. nearly everyone has some growing somewhere on there property. onions are also another key ingredient!

What is the type variety of summer savory, used in Acadian northern Maine the name scientific, I have ordered 3 different types and they are NOT what I grew up eatting in Fricot, Stuffing, stews.  I always got it from home but my mom is gone now and I cant find the right variety, I want to grow some this winter, but need to get the right variety,  I do know in maine they use seeds from plants for a lot they grow like buckwheat, but I order my buckwheat from Bouchard farms in Fort Kent, so I am good there, shipping to FL is crazy for 5 lbs of buckwheat flour,  but so worth it,  $18.00 last time.  my husband loves them too.  my Mom and Dad were from St. Frances  Maine.  I am in Florida. Not gonna find it here, I grew things like this in our winters which is like Northern Maine summers,  and use pots with less sandy soil, and ground dark gloomy soil, it works usually.  Unless it freezes overnight without me covering plants. Happened twice, we do get freezing temps at night in FL. Often in central FL. I learned if you grow buckwheat and till it under after you really boost your soild nutrients, learned that after I gave up on gardening. Getting too old to bend that much, my hubby has no green thumb. Whatsoever. Lol.

Welcome to Permies, Patricia!

I’ve been growing winter savory and it is quite delicious, but I haven’t much grown summer savory. You aren’t thinking of this, are you? A perennial herb?
