Storing Seasonings: Fresh Herbs
I have grown herbs in my own garden for several years, with varied levels of success. The only problem is I have gotten used to using fresh but I am not happy to pay the exorbitant price for fresh in the winter. So this winter I decided to grow a few herbs in my kitchen window. I checked out my options and decided I had room for three herbs. I decided on basil, parsley, and rosemary. I purchased inexpensive pots and seeds and have been growing them since January.
It has been much easier then I thought. The herbs have done very well and I have enjoyed growing them. If you live in a cold norther area like I do you might want to think about having a pot of herbs somewhere in your kitchen. It is a great was to add something tasty to your food storage.
