The July 2017 Program guest is Dagmar Roeder, a fellow member of the Bella Vista Garden Club. The topic of the show is Growing and Cooking with Herbs and several herbs were displayed along with some cut stems of mint that was stored in the refrigerator for 3 days and still looked fresh as the day it was cut. Photos of Dagmar's herbs in her garden were also shown. Growing conditions for various herbs that are usually available are discussed and some more unusual herbs are mentioned that can be grown from seed or available at nurseries that specialize in herbs. Herbs that repel insects, like garlic and basil, can be planted in various parts of the garden. When cooking with fresh herbs you need to increase the amount you use versus dried herbs. More information on growing herbs and recipes using herbs are available in the Gardening Info section of this website under Herbs.
