Well, I’ve done it again. I hit our local co-op and I did it. I couldn’t let another summer pass by without at least trying once again to grow my own herbs. My only hope is to not have a repeat of last year.
What got me going was my new cooking routine. After deciding which recipes I was going to whip up for next week, my list of required herbs grew. There was a Greek salad (I’ll share later) recipe on the menu that I had made before and I knew dried oregano was not going to do.
If I have a choice, then I always prefer to use fresh herbs over dried. Fresh herbs just look better, smell better, and taste oh so very good.
I know they’re not herbs, but blueberries also taste oh so very good. The only problem is, I’ll have to wait until next season.
Do you have a favorite herb you like to smell, eat, or grow?
There is nothing better to me than the smell of fresh basil. I will use it all summer on EVERYTHING! I even make my grilled cheese sandwiches with it. I put in mozzarella and fresh basil and tomato. Then I cook it up in the skillet. To me that is summer. YUMMY!
