Why Purchase Herbs at the Supermarket?
Herbs are among the easiest plants to cultivate in your garden. Many boast drought tolerance and, though their blooming period is short, they provide a delightful fragrance.
Growing herbs in containers is convenient, but if you have space, consider planting a full herb garden. You don't need much?"a plot of about 200-400 square feet will suffice. Before you start, sketch your garden layout on graph paper, considering the mature size of each plant and leaving at least a foot between them for easy maintenance.
Fragrant and Flavorful Herbs
Lavender: Known for its heavenly scent, lavender is perfect for making scented sachets, which double as wonderful gifts.
The Classics: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme are all excellent additions. Fresh parsley enhances potato and pasta salads. Dried sage is great in stuffings for turkey and chicken. Rosemary and thyme are ideal for roasting poultry and lamb.
Tarragon: This herb is fantastic in soups, salads, and sauces, notably béarnaise for fish or chicken.
Dill: Essential if you're pickling or making flavored vinegars. Though dried dill is inexpensive, fresh stalks are hard to find unless you grow them yourself.
Must-Have and Problematic Herbs
Chives: If limited to one herb, choose chives. They're easy to maintain, add a pop of green, and have a subtle onion flavor perfect for salads and potato toppings.
Cilantro: While useful, cilantro bolts quickly. Here's a tip for store-bought cilantro: place it in a glass of water and cover with the original plastic bag. This keeps it fresh for up to two weeks in the fridge.
Mint (Pineapple Mint): Mint is aromatic and great for tea. However, it can take over your garden due to its invasive roots. For control, plant mint in a container and move it occasionally to prevent rooting through the drainage holes.
By considering these tips, you can enjoy a thriving, aromatic herb garden with a variety of flavors ready for your culinary adventures.
