I buy on a regular basis...for my smoothies cilantro parsley and I have fresh thai basil in my flower bed....according to Lisa:p I didn't know what it was and sent her a picture of it:D |
My "must haves" are Basil for pesto and pasta and everything else dill on everything! Cilantro and culantro for all of my Mexican cooking Curry leaves for ......curry :p Mint for raita and Mojitos :D and Parsley for everything else :) |
Got to have: Thyme Basil Oregano Parsley Sage Rosemary I keep big pots of them growing, bringing them inside for the winter, so I can have fresh herbs all year long. Any other fresh herbs, I'll buy as needed. Also must haves...not herbs but, garlic and chives. |

Me too ~ I forgot chives! I'm pretty sure chives qualify as an herb. :) |
I mostly buy dried herbs for cooking, because I don't cook a lot:p |

He asked what I was doing. I told him I was going to put them in the salad. He looked me straight in the eye and said " We don't eat our plants" :sidesplt: :sidesplt: |
Soapers? Any other Soapers out there besides Michelle's DH and Priscilla? At least I think P is a soaper.....she hates cilantro...... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123446387388578461.html |
I had never heard of soapers...fixed us a lovely garden salad with lots of fresh veggies and herbs...cilantro being one of them. We were eating and all of a sudden my DH looked at me and ask if I put dawn dish soap in his salad!! I said are you insane, why would I put dish soap in our salad...lol Needless to say he is not a cilantro fan:D |

I wonder if culantro would hit the same notes :scratchhe: What is culantro? Is it the same as cilantro? |
They lost me on crushed bedbug |
I want to grow some herbs so this thread is particularly pertinent right now! :) So for those of you that grow your own.. do you have them all in one pot or do you have several pots all over? I don't really have much room so wondering if this will work for me..... Hey... pictures always help.... |

These were invented right here in Sarasota and I have personally met with Nancy Jane (who is also on QVC and HSN). I don't think there is a superior product out there yet! They require very little "footprint space". As long as you use worm poop and coconut coir......you are GOLDEN!!
