state is green with a slightly bitter flavor. As it matures, it turns bright red and
becomes sweeter. You can also find yellow, orange, white, pink, and even purple
varieties.
Ginger
 The part of the plant above the ground is a foot long upright stem with long,
narrow leaves. The leaves are green and ribbed in texture. Ginger flowers are
small and white or yellow-green in color. The usable part of the root is a rhizome,
which is how the plant propagates itself
Tomato
They are usually red, scarlet, or yellow, though green and purple varieties do
exist, and they vary in shape from almost spherical to oval and elongate to pear-
shaped. Each fruit contains at least two cells of small seeds surrounded by
jellylike pulp
Aloe Vera

spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with
some varieties showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces. The
margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth.
Mint
Mint plants are mainly aromatic perennials and they possess erect, branching
stems and oblong to ovate or Lancelot leaves arranged in opposing pairs on the
stems. The leaves are often covered in tiny hairs and have a serrated margin.
Oregano

perennial, although it is grown as an annual in colder climates, as it often does not
survive the winter. Oregano is planted in early spring, the plants being spaced 30
cm (12 in) apart in fairly dry soil, with full sun
