We made our own herbal "gardens". Yes, our own herb pot! Are we still in the 70's?
Have you ever cooked with fresh herbs? Food tastes COMPLETELY different when you add your own herbs. (Yes the legal ones!) I'm famous for killing plants, but for some reason, I do really well with herbs-must be the eating part .
