One thing I've learned as I've been taking care of my precious garden, is there is a limit to how often you water them. You have to water them every few days if not longer. DO NOT OVER WATER! Please comment below and share your advise on proper care or advise on how to have a healthy herb garden. Thanks!
My favorite part of having herbs close at hand is when I'm cooking. I'll grab some herbs, rinse them, cut them up and put them in mostly everything I can. My favorite herb right now is BASIL. The smell and taste is divine in most of my dishes.
My new discovery is DILL scones. I never would have thought that would taste good in a scone. Oh my gosh! It is so yummy! Especially with crunchy Parmesan cheese melted on top.
If you look really close to the first picture. You can see my tall basil plant in the middle of the white flower pots. It has been staying alive, even after we spent 40 days at a hotel while our home was getting remodeled. I was amazed how hardy it was. It even grew tall over a large pot I placed it in so that it could reach out for more sunlight. That was my first experience with an herb plant. I was so excited of it's durability that I've grown an immense love for herb plants. And believe me, if I can do it, you can too.
The place I've found a good variety of herb plants was at our local fruit market. They're not organic, as I wish but they are a good price, compared to the price for herbs in the salad section at the grocery store. I priced it to be around the same price for an herb plant vs. store bought herbs in a plastic container.
Later today, I plan on taking my herb plants out of their black pots and put them in my new ones. I was looking for some kind of narrow pot to place on my window sill, and found these at Target for a price I couldn't pass up. If you knew my life before I started this new whole food lifestyle, you'd be amazed at how much this has changed my family's life. I haven't totally become strict yet, as we still have non-whole food items in our home, that we are eating. But anything we buy from this point on is purely whole foods. I have to admit, it is hard to say no, being still new to this, when friends and family want us to join them to eat the things we are saying no to. I look at each day as the beginning of saying no to chemically laden foods and yes to those foods that are hopefully GMO free and processed FREE.
