My Hanging Organic Herb Garden And Summertime Flowers


Hanging Herb Garden

My Hanging Organic Herb Garden And Summertime Flowers are thriving.

I believe no dish is complete without a sprinkling of fresh herbs. When added to a marinade, tossed into a salad, sprinkled into a soup or stew, or just as a garnish, fresh herbs add so much flavor. So next time you’re in the kitchen making your favorite dish try adding fresh herbs. This is My Hanging Organic Herb Garden.

Cilantro is one of my very favorite herbs.

The aroma of fresh Dill is intoxicating.

Tarragon

Tarragon above I use in so many of my chicken and seafood dishes.

English Lavender

The Lavender above smells so good. I like adding the blooms to sugar. Lavender sugar makes a great gift.

The Chives are blossoming.

Flat Leaf Italian Parsley

Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley is used in most of my dishes because of its great flavor.

Thyme

Above is my fresh Thyme. The lemony flavor is perfect for chicken.

Sweet Basil (2)

Sweet Basil with its lemony minty flavor goes with just about everything. I’d say, it’s the one herb I use the most.

Oregano

Above is my Italian Oregano, a super-strong herb so you don’t need much. Great in Tex-Mex dishes.

Oregano

More Oregano! This is the Greek variety.

Rosemary

My Rosemary is definitely outgrowing this pot!

Sage

Sage is one of those herbs that reminds me of the holidays. A peppery-rosemary flavor that’s super earthy.

Mint

Above are my fresh Mint plants. The first, and most commonly used one is spearmint, the second is peppermint version. Great for desserts, salads and so much more.

This little beauty is my new Bay Leaf Tree. There is nothing better than fresh bay leaves.

Lavender

Lavender can be used in so many ways. I love making Lavender sugar.
