This Year’s Herb Containers

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

The old soil and herbs were removed, more rocks for drainage were added and new soil put into the herb containers. The Garlic Chives and Chocolate Mint are back from last year but the rest are new. We have already used our rosemary in a chicken dish and have enjoyed adding fresh basil to our pasta sauces. This year we planted the African Blue Basil which I adore and a new Red Rubin Basil which we have yet to try but the colour looks amazing. I have included a picture and name of each herb. Please feel free to comment and share any of your favourite herbs or recipes.
