The little lady grows a few vegetables as a subset of her overall gardening, but the things I appreciate the most are the fresh herbs. It’s really nice to be in the kitchen making dinner and pausing for a quick step outside to collect some ingredients.

Oh I agree. And have you seen the cost of cut, packaged “fresh” herbs at the grocery store (produce section)?? You’ll end up paying $4 for a few sprigs of dill! I’ve got dill growing voluntarily in my garden every year as it reseeds very well. I grow dill, basil, chives, garlic, mint (not by choice anymore lol), thyme, oregano. parsley, stevia, rosemary....

That does rock! We’ve already had new potatoes with fresh chives from the garden. Love it! :)

I know exactly what you mean, by having some fresh herbs it really does make a difference with home cooked meals. Plus why pay for something that time & a little water can fix up a good variety of veggies & herbs.

:D
