Cilantro & Basil
Cilantro is great for making fresh salsa and any other mexican dishes.
Basil, of course, if great for Italian recipes.
Grapefruit Mint & Oregano
Grapefruit Mint is great in some fresh green tea or even a Mojito.
Oregano is wonderful in Italian food also.
Onion Chive & Sage
Onion Chive works on almost anything.
You can top your baked potatoes, grilled seafood, or even on a salad.
Sage, there is nothing like fresh sage added to fresh ground pork sausage.
Container gardens are wonderful if you love fresh herbs or have limited space.
These containers are on metal baskets mounted on the outside of my deck railings.
The only draw-back to having a container garden is
that they do require watering & fertilizer more frequently.
However, the ability to go out an cut fresh herbs for your recipes is priceless.

ReplyDeleteI love the containers you have shown. They are pretty and useful too. The recipe for the marinade looks delicious, but in that color font, it is hard for me to read. I don't know if it just my computer or not, but thought it was worth mentioning.
ReplyDeleteI have tried containers before, and I especially loved growing tomatoes upside down in those special planters. My only trouble is the only spot I have for them gets full on sun from morning til night and even watering twice a day is hard on them. They wilt and perk back up, but it is very time consuming. Do you have any suggestions for watering?
