GOING HERBAL

A basket of herbs on the patio is handy and quick for last minute additions to my culinary delights, rather than trudging out to the garden. This basket contains my favourite ones...Italian parsley (a must for eveything green), thyme (nice on stews and roasting meats), chives (for eggs, potato salad), rosemary (for anything pork or chicken) and some oregano for nice green color on sliced tomatoes. Sonia, the garden fairy, has the place of honor on the converted potting bench (now used for the table top BBQ and the patio supplies.
