Herbs From a Small Garden

Repost from June 11, 2013.

I have always wanted a little herb garden. For the last few years I have tried to grow herbs and have failed miserably. This year my herbs are doing great! I started my seeds in the greenhouse and transplanted them into a raised bed near my kitchen.

Herbs I’m growing

I’m growing mint, dill, basil, caraway, sage, oregano, thyme, pineapple sage, rosemary, stevia, parsley, catnip, and cilantro. I so enjoy drinking fresh herb water throughout the day or drinking a cup of mint tea in the evenings. And you can’t beat cooking with fresh herbs! I plan to grow more herb varieties such as medicinal herbs in the future.

How we’re using our herbs

We have started drying some of our herbs to put up for future use when fresh herbs aren’t available. I’ve been hanging them to dry from our door frame in our dining area.
