IN THIS GARDEN I HAVE MANY HERBS. HERE ARE JUST A FEW THAT I GROW. "PINEAPPLE SAGE,VERIGATED SAGE,LIME THYME,LEMON THYME, THYME,OREGANO,CHIVES FRENCH TARRAGON, TARRAGON,RUSSIAN TARRAGON,ROSEMARY, FEVERFEW, CURRY,LEMON BALM, LEMON VERBENA, CARAWAY,DOUBLE LEAF PARSLEY,LEMON BASIL,SWEET MARJORUM".
Pineapple sage is good in fruit salads,so is lime thyme and lemon thyme. Lemon verbena is good to steep in water and make lemonade with fresh squeezed lemon juice and sugar. Feverfew is very good for migrane headaches, chives are good in salads and baked potatoes,rosemary is good in anything,oregano is good to put in Itialian dishes, sage is good to dry and to put in stuffings. Lemon balm is good to put in your ice tea and I also have peppermint, I have to keep it in a container cause it gets out of hand, we put it in our ice tea also. I hope you have learned something new from my herb info. I will be getting more herbs in my garden and i will be posting new pictures of my garden as they come in and posting new info on herbs too.
