TH. GLADIS as much time as possible in these gardens. They live in self-made cabins, grow their crops, cook tea, prepare and consume their food, invite friends, neighbours and the whole extended family several times per year. The hedges are tight, the fences full with climbing beans, peas, pumpkins. Water is a limiting factor in the gardens. Rainwater is collected and sparsely applied to the crops. It is relatively easy to distinguish between common plant varieties and seeds which the immigrants brought along with them. The local varieties of immigrants are not homogeneous. Each family has material with morphologically distinct characters for different uses. Seed growing is commonly observed. In some cases the gardeners cultivate plant species which are not yet reported as crop plants for the territory of Germany officially. Two examples of such plants are Chaerophyllum byzantinum Boiss. and Trachystemon orientalis (L.) G. Don. In Turkey, both are wild plants collected by the people in their native environment. Chaerophyllum has a flavour comparable to parsley and is frequently used as a spice throughout the year. Trachystemon is harvested in early spring. The leaf stalks are consumed as vegetable. Both plant species are not available from the German flora. The preferences for these plants led to the decision to transfer them and to cultivate them here for use in kitchen. Trachystemon orientalis is a beautiful slow growing plant. It is offered in garden markets sometimes as an ornamental for shaded places in gardens because of its nice blue flowers and the dark green foliage. A preliminary checklist of the plants observed in immigrant gardens and the respective nationalities of the gardeners are presented in Table 1.
