Organic Herb Sampler 2012
Vegetable and Herb Sampler Page
Why not have the herbs you love to use growing right outside your kitchen door? This year, all of our herbs will be organically grown. A full flat contains two each of the eight of the nine varieties below for a total of sixteen plants; a half flat contains eight of the nine plants listed below.

Leaves of sage may be dried for cooking or sachets, or used fresh, and the plant is pretty in bloom. |  |
Fresh basil is great to have on hand for summer meals. |
 |
Thyme is a superior carpeting plant, and its flavor complements many dishes. |  |
Chives are a welcome addition to many delicious meals. |
 |
Rosemary is essential for roasting chicken, and is a beautiful perennial plant as well. |  |
Marjoram makes a handsome plant in the garden, and is a savory addition to soups and stews. |
 |
Lavender is great for sachets, but can also be used in cooking. Last summer I made a lavender-fig compote that was to die for! |  |
A beautiful garnish, parsley is also a healthful addition to many dishes. |
 |
Oregano may be used fresh or dried for winter use. |  |
Chamomile can easily be grown and made into soothing, tasty tea. It's also a very pretty addition to the garden. |
 |
Culinary mint will enliven iced tea, lemonade, and fancy cocktails alike, and can also be used in cooking. |
