I love my herb box!! Ok, so about two months ago, I was just having one of those days....you know what I'm talking about. So I decided to take a walk and check out my planter boxes. To my surprise every thing had been butchered by the weed eater. :( Now my day just got worse! I had started that one rosemary from seed, and it was taking forever to grow, now it was chopped to the ground. Come to find out, it was the best thing for my herbs. They are doing better than ever! I guess I finally realized you can grow all those things, but they also must be harvested and put to good use. I have all kinds of things this year...oregano, mint, rosemary, basil, chives, salad, sage, and cilantro. I plan on making some salsa when my tomatoes get ready! Mint is good to put in tea, or in a foot spa is awesome! If you've ever tried to grow mint...make room, because it spreads like crazy! Same with oregano! The oregano is going to be out of this world when I make spagetti, oooh, or garlic bread.
I have an herb box too. I have basil, oregano, sage, parsley, rosemary, and lavender. I love cooking with them!
ReplyDeleteI've used a little bit of mine...gonna do better this year. I cant wait to cook up some of my red potatoes, and cover them with the chives. Maybe I can do that later tonight!
