Herb Garden
Herbs make great tea, add flavour to foods, soothe aches, relieve illnesses, and smell nice. How would you like to have fresh herbs at your fingertips? You can by growing a herb garden.
If you live where it’s sunny and dry, try growing borage or marjoram outside. Herbs such as chives, chervil, lemon balm, and mint grow well in shady places.
You can also grow herbs in pots, either outdoors or on window sills. Basil, savory, cilantro, and rosemary are just a few of the herbs that grow well this way.
Dry your own Herbs
Many herbs are delicious when eaten fresh. But you can also dry some to use later.
What to do:
- Use rubber bands to fasten the stems of your fresh herbs in bunches
- Tie the bunches onto hangers with kitchen string.
- Hang the hangers in a warm, dry place for about a week, or until the leaves crumble easily.
- Store your dried herbs in jars or bottles. Label the jars so you know which herb is in each one.
