Herb Garden

In my back yard I have a garden containing a variety of herbs growing in several containers. Most are combined with other herbs, but the vigorous mint is in a pot alone due to its proliferation. I love that I can walk out my back door to my herb garden. The water fountain is soothing; the beautiful summer weather warms my bare feet as I take my time gathering the herbs I need for the day. I snip chives for a baked potato, trim off basil for pesto and chop cilantro for fresh salsa. Herbs are easy and inexpensive to grow while looking beautiful my backyard garden.
Growing fresh herbs is a great way to flavor your summer recipes. Here are just a few ideas.
A platter of sliced tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella cheese is a colorful side dish that’s bursting with flavor. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and if desired olive oil.
