For window-sill gardeners, suburban and country folk, those of you who get a thrill from making your own gifts for Christmas and other occasions and, of course, gourmet cooks – in fact, for nearly every cook – raising herbs is an exciting, satisfying hobby.
Herb growing is an easy hobby too, for a "green thumb" just isn't necessary. These plants thrive in poor soil and often with a minimum of sunlight, and you don't even need a great deal of space. Many of the most highly valued herbs can be grown successfully indoors. Herbs make decorative house plants, and are fragrant as well as pretty. Herbs grown outdoors are lovely in almost any spot – scattered among your vegetables, sown between paving stones, on terraces and walks, along fences, or climbing up a bird bath. Some herbs make attractive hedges and border plants.
Don't underestimate the versatile herb! There are hundreds upon hundreds of uses. Their culinary uses are truly endless – herbs have "made" the reputation of many a host. And wouldn't you like to revive the charming old custom of making fragrant household items such as potpourris, rose jars and scented jars for drawers and linen closets?
You can make herb vinegars, teas, sugars, salts, jellies, candies, sachets, floral bouquets, place cards and tallies. In Herbs For Health—How To Grow & Use Them you'll find dozens of delightful uses for the herbs you grow.
There is no more fascinating way to add spice to your life than by planting your own herb garden.
