I have a spot where my oregano has taken over...couldn't kill that stuff if I tried! Then I also have basil, mint, and rosemary. It got to hot for the cilantro, it went to seed last week.

I am growing basil, curly parsley, and sage. I'd like to grow more herbs next year, and expand my herb garden a bit bigger too.

Lambs ear is a herb? What is it used for? Then I grow that too! I planted it "in" my herb garden, but it all started growing outside of my herb garden the following year.

Lambs ear should taste and smell like apples. has been used forever for wounds, colds,and to clear the lungs.

dill and garlic . for pickling. Don't let your dill go to seed. It can become a weed in short time.

I love herbs. I have lots of mint, love a sprig of it in a glass of sun tea. Sage smells so good, love it in dressing. Basil is a must with me, love to tear off the leaves, snip it fine with a pair of scissors, and put in buttered noodles. Rosemary smells so good, love to just pinch it and enjoy the aroma. Like to put in a little when I am boiling potatoes, also great to make Rosemary Salts for the bath.I love garlic when roasting meats. I dig up all the wild garlic I can locate around here, so many dislike it and I love it.Parsley is always wonderful for garnish. We also have wild plants around in the spring, such as dandelion,lambs quarter,and there are quite a few poke sallet plants, wild onions, and garlic.

I make a meat rub with chopped rosemary, garlic, cracked pepper and kosher salt and sprinkle it on salmon or pork loin chops, or steaks to grill, or rub it on pork or beef roast and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before I put it in the oven. If I'm on the ball, I will rub it the night before and let it sit overnight and all day before I bake it. Oh, man, the house always smells SOOOO good when I make that stuff!

i grow herbs! I have a few herbs in my garden, this last year we grew parsley, oregano (mediteranian) , dill, onion chives "I didn't plant this it just grows wild around here", and dandelions, Don't laugh at the dandelions, the local herb shop pays $5.00 a pound for them, roots, leaves and flowers, no kidding.

dandelion, burdock, is a must in the medecinal herb area, this time of year, or at least in Mn. a person tends to lower their water intake. This is a bad thing. A simple 'tea' made of burdock, dandelion, and parsley root, with a small amount of celery seed. Drink this twice a day, along with water, and flush your kidneys and bladder.

Took my wife to Opryland Hotel in Nashville, they have the biggest indoor garden I have ever seen. While walking thru thier Herb garden i pointed out to my wife that they had interplanted Medusa Peppers in between Herbs. Probably just for the novelty of them, but they sure did look good. gave a diffrent kinda look from all the green. Enough of this babble.......ok bye......

What part of the dandelion do you use for the tea? leaves? And do you steep the leaves in hot water to make the tea? I would be interested in making this tea this spring. More info please???
