At Home Wednesday: Herb Garden

Potted Herb Garden 

To me, summer is all about fresh fruits and veggies. While in years past my family has taken on the task of growing our own garden packed with zucchini, tomatoes, and peppers; this year we decided to tackle an herb garden instead. (which is not an easy task, they can die so quick from the heat!) Having fresh herbs on hand is truly an extra touch to enhance any dish, and take much less space and time than a full veggie garden. Plus these plants make the yard smell wonderful. We chose to plant: Basil, Flat-leaf Parsley, Dill, Rosemary, Mint, and Lemon Verbena! 

In Addition to cooking, herbs can be used to make inexpensive and natural beauty regimens. On Free People's Blog BLDG 25, they posted wonderful information about fresh herbs and their natural benefits. Check it out here

ENJOY SUMMER AT HOME!
