Fresh Herbs in Your Garden


Today I was planning to do a write up on using fresh herbs, as opposed to dry herbs, when cooking. Then I chanced over to Our Best Bites and found this wonderful tutorial, full of more information than I could ever have imparted.

Lotza gems, like this one!
The rule of thumb to remember with fresh herbs is this:
1 Tbls. fresh herb = 1 tsp. dried herb
or use 3 times fresh that you would dried.

Helpful herb guides for growing a successful crop, include: What to grow. Where to plant. Soil needs. Using the herbs. Cutting herbs. Cooking with herbs. Preserving herbs. And super recipes using your herb bounty.

I just love my little herb garden so thought
you would also enjoy this great post.
