i have been looking a the history of medicinal gardens to get more ideas about garden design .. i have been thinking that a garden could be designed using the researched gained to date and also incorporating the flowers and plants associated with diet and health

seed stitch

background could be stitched in seed stitch linking the sewn stitch with the idea of brachy seeds.

A seed [siːd] (help·info) is a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering called the seed coat, usually with some stored food. It is the product of the ripened ovule of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants which occurs after fertilization and some growth within the mother plant. The formation of the seed completes the process of reproduction in seed plants (started with the development of flowers and pollination), with the embryo developed from the zygote and the seed coat from the integuments of the ovule. Seeds have been an important development in the reproduction and spread of flowering plants, relative to more primitive plants like mosses, ferns and liverworts, which do not have seeds and use other means to propagate themselves. This can be seen by the success of seed plants (both gymnosperms and angiosperms) in dominating biological niches on land, from forests to grasslands both in hot and cold climates. The term seed also has a general meaning that predates the above - anything that can be sown i.e. "seed" potatoes, "seeds" of corn or sunflower "seeds". In the case of sunflower and corn "seeds", what is sown is the seed enclosed in a shell or hull, and the potato is a tuber.

phytoestrogens

lycopene line

i am interested in the diagrams and lines reating to the related chemical structures . these could from part of layout design .

lycopene possible reduced risk of prostrate cancer

'the major sources of lycopene in the diet are tomatoes - especially tomato sauce and paste . some lycopene is also found in smaller ammounts in watermelon and pink grapefruit'

garden

• companion planting
• vegetables and flowers together
• allotments
• garden layout/ design
• medicinal gardens
• garden history

vegetable flowers

beneficial diet and prostrate cancer

• phytoestrogens :grains veg legumes, fruit and vegetables soy beans
• vitamins and selenium
• tomato products and lycopene

thinking of seeds planted i have been looking at brachytherapy again and how seeds are inserted with needles. a positioning grid is used .

ideas

• looking at the layout of the grid for design
• using templates to work with

• planting seeds
• inserting seeds
• creating seed beds

seeds

borage seeds and seed pod
