Hankering for healthy herbs

A handful of fresh herbs magically transforms an average meal into an aromatic gourmet feast and if you share my hankerings, you will concur that those freshly picked supersede anything you will find dried on a supermarket shelf.

Besides being easy to grow, herbs provide a plethora of perks from a single planting: they look great, smell sublime, taste terrific and are full of fantastic health properties. !If all that wasn’t enough, herbs happen to be some of the most productive, trouble-free, plants around. By picking leaves regularly, you actually encourage further growth and better-established plants. Herbs are not hungry feeders and are more likely to repel pests than attract them, thus making them an excellent choice for companion planting.

Herbs are ideal for softening any part of the garden and will make your outdoor space more fragrant and colorful, attracting you and beneficial insects. Whether you have acres of land or just a sunny windowsill, growing your own herbs is possible.
