Here are a few pictures of my herb garden. I have others areas with flowers and herbs, but this is the largest and right at my patio. It makes it so convenient when cooking and also to weed and maintain. I have been making a lot of Tabbouleh lately, since I love it and I used to make it and enjoy it with my Nanny. I need to have parsley on hand, as well as mint. I have been buying tomatoes since mine are still growing.

Chives, thyme and rosemary will come back each year. Sometimes if the the winter is hard, rosemary may not return, but in a protected area, it usually will. The other herbs I plant each year are parsley, basil (love pesto!), cilantro (I love it for the coriander seeds it produces), dill and stevia.  I also grow lemon verbena in pots and bring them in every fall before the frost. they will look dead by late winter, but as spring approaches, you will see growth and they will get their fragrant leaves once again. The leaves are the truest lemon fragrance I have ever found in a plant, including lemon balm.

I hope you are enjoying some herbs this time of year!
