HOMEMAKERS’ HINTS
By KAY E. WEBB Extension Agent, Home Economics
NOW IS THE TIME to start on your home herb garden. Herbs may be grown in the home garden to provide seasoning for food, flavoring for cool drinks and as perfume. They are free from damage by disease and insects. A few short rows in the vegetable or flower garden will provide an adequate supply for the average family.
W. P. Judkins, Extension Specialist, Home Horticulture, suggests that early Spring about one week before the average date of the last frost is the best time to sow the seeds. A well drained fertile soil is best for herbs.
Parsley, chives, basil, borage, spearmint, sage and thyme are some of the most common herbs grown in home gardens. Fennel is possibly more like a vegetable than an herb and is used raw or cooked as a salad.
After you start your herb garden begin to experiment in your cooking. Only a pinch of an herb can give a dish or meat a new flavor.
