Fresh Herbs

Fresh Herbs

I don’t know about you all but I love my fresh herbs….I usually plant mine in large pots so I can move them inside if I need to due to the weather …. You can also used window boxes, put on patio or deck….I have parsley, basil, thai basil, lemon basil & cilantro right now….Mine do better on my patio (north side) than putting them in my garden….Being in Texas & with the heat they need some shade…

Ya’ll should try some herbs this season if you haven’t already…..You will love having them outside your door….

Also when you buy green onions in the grocery store cut them down to about 2 ” from the bottom….Save your bottoms & plants in a pot…You will have greens onions in about a week….Just go outside & cut down to the white section & they will keep regrowing…..I love that….

If I get a large amount to harvest at one time of my herbs, I have dried them in microwave….Place on plate (I use a corelle,  the plate doesn’t get as hot to handle) with a paper towel on bottom & put one  on top of herbs….Spread herbs out on plate to cover  the bottom of plate…  In my microwave I cook  them for  about 4 minutes…..You will need to experiment with your microwave….Seal in zip lock bags….

Using fresh herbs makes your dishes taste so much better…… You will love having them available at your finger tips….

Well these are a few ideas for you….If you have any suggestions  Please share…..

Happy Gardening & enjoy…..
