Herbs that we Grow.

Listed below are the various herbs that we sell. Last year I made a very good ice tea using fresh mint leaves and stevia. Personally I don't cook that much so my knowledge with herbs is what I have read in magazines, on the Internet, in seed catalogs, and in books. This year I hope to do more cooking so I can give people ideas on how to use the herbs and vegetables that I grow.

Basil:

Purple ruffles- has a slight clove scent and flavor.

Sweet Basil- Traditional basil that is used to make pesto or other dishes.

Thai Basil- has a licorice scent and flavor.

Cinnamon Basil- has a sweet cinnamon flavor. Can be used in food dishes and also be used in flower bouquets.

Lemon Basil- sweet and tangy flavor.

Catnip- Cats love this herb. It can also be used in teas.

Cilantro- Has a citrus and nutty flavour and it is used in salsas. The edible seeds are called Coriander.

Dill -We do not sell dill plants as they do not transplant well. We do sell fresh dill off of the home yard and at farmers' markets.

Lavender- The lavender we grow flowers in the first year. Lavender is used in a variety of crafts (potpourris, sachets, soaps, and wreaths).

Mint- Good for making jelly, teas, and in other recipes.

Oregano- Can be used in food dishes or in teas.

Parsley- Has a celery like taste and can be used in soups, as garnishes, and other dishes. Rosemary Can be used in crafts.

Sage- Has a slight lemon flavor and can be used in dressings, sauces, and teas. Can also be used in dried floral arrangements.

Summer Savory- Has a peppery taste. A lot of people use this herb to make a fresh bean soup.
