Herbs and Spices

Herbs - Lemon Thyme


I love fresh herbs for cooking and have planted them in my garden, amongst my flower beds. Lemon thyme is one of the most versatile herbs. Apart from being a very attractive plant, this herb is fantastic for soups, stews, vegetables, in fact any culinary use. Brilliant fragrance too. I use lemon thyme on roasting veggies and the flavour is superb!






Rosemary and Basil


The picture on the right shows basil in the foreground and rosemary in the background. These are two of my favourite herbs. Basil can be used with pasta, raw in salads etc. Rosemary compliments many dishes and is an essential with lamb. Herbs are 
available from most nurseries and are relatively easy
to take care of. So why not visit your nursery and
invest in a plant or two of your favourite herb. Plant in your garden and you will have an abundance of
fresh herbs available.  Herbs can also be planted in pots. More on that later.
