HERB GARDEN

Thanks so much to Suzanne for our lovely herb garden! Here is a guide:

Pot 1. Spicy Globe Basil ~ Pot 2. Chocolate Mint and Culinary Sage ~ Pot 3. Rosemary and Texas Tarragon ~ Pot 4. Chives and Cilantro ~ Pot 5. Sweet Basil, Thyme, Flat-Leaf Parsley.

Spicy Globe Basil (Pot 1) has much smaller leaves than the Sweet Basil in Pot 5. While it is not all that “spicy,” it does have a somewhat stronger flavor than the Sweet Basil, but really, the two are pretty much interchangeable in recipes.

Texas Tarragon (Pot 3) is also known as Mexican Mint Marigold. French Tarragon does not grow well here, but Texas Tarragon makes a really nice substitute in cooking.
