Homegrown Herbs

When we lived in the northwest we had a great garden that produced fresh vegetables and herbs all summer long. As new residents in Texas we decided to plant our herbs in pots due to unpredictable weather. You can purchase starts of your favorite herbs and enjoy them fresh or dried. I planted sage, cilantro, basil, and tarragon this year. Ask your local gardener for best growing seasons and conditions. With a little love and care the plants will pay for themselves after just a few harvests! 

If you decide to dry herbs you can infuse them in oil. Our favorite combination is sage infused in olive oil and used for brown butter ravioli. Happy gardening!
