I have recently gotten back into using many fresh herbs in my cooking. I generally only do this in the summer since it's cheaper to buy a plant then to buy fresh herbs at the grocery store weekly. Most herbs tend to die in the fall.
I have all the seeds to start herb plants at my house and I have decided it's time to put them to use. I bought one of the cheap plastic greenhouses at Walmart. My house doesn't have great light for growing plants and I'm thinking this may help. I am really excited to get the seeds started and have fresh herbs. I will be growing rosemary, basil, oregano, sage, dill, and cilantro to start.
Cooking with herbs and spices is a great way to add flavor to your meals without adding lots of fat and sodium, both of which are not good for your health. Herbs and spices also allow you to add variety to your diet.
Growing fresh herbs has inspired me to grow some flowers in time for Mother day. We generally buy flowers for everyone, but this year we can grow and pot them ourselves. Not only will it be much cheaper, but we will have put our time in it. That always makes a gift better.
