Herb gardens are the best of all to have. You can pick and pick, always having new growth (if you're lucky.) By varying your ethnicity in food choices, you give your herbs a good rotation of harvesting, so you always have fresh herbs for the meal. The only one in serious demand seems to be parsley, so I have several pots of it growing. Three pots of rosemary, three of oregano, two thyme plants, six basil plants (just because it smells so damn good,) two fennel plants, two dill plants, peppermint, spearment, two pots full of cat-chewed lemongrass, and as of this week, three pots of cilantro. I think I got the cooking herb requirements filled... Time to think about tea herbs.
(Note: I freeze a LOT of herbs for winter use.)
