so many herbs

[moggssue]

Couldnt live without sage (purple leaved to add some extra colour to the herb bed) and rosemary for sprinkling on the bbq coals for their aroma, and coriander for the currys (but if you grow this for the seeds, beware cos it stinks!). Oh, and love basil as well ... think I'd better stop there!!

[Flummery]

My standard herbs are sage (got the purple one), parsley, rosemary, lavender (use it with lamb - fantastic) hyssop, basil and lovage. Can't stand mint!

chives, use a lot of these (trying garlic 1s this time as well), coriander, sage, thyme, rosemary are the 1s i use most, love cooking and always '...add a few bits...' as i call it, cooked some chicken with garlic, chilli and coriander and gave my son some for his tea, he loved it but dare not tell him what i had added because he wouldn't eat it otherwise lol! i add herbs to lots of sandwiches as well, egg mayo with cheese, chives and a touch of chilli is lovely! yum, yum!

There are many kinds of herbs and our take on it is you should grow the ones that you use frequently. we grow the following:

Rosemary - Used with Lamb (My favorite) and roast potatoes
Sage - Stuffing and sage butter sauce
Parsley - Used in almost everything (Especially stews)
Chives - Lovelt in mashed potato and salads
Basil - Essential for pasta sauces
Oregano - excellent on pizza and roast potatoes
Thyme - Good in stuffing, roast potatoes and stews
Corriander - Excellent for curries (Difficult to grow outside in my expierience)
Mint - a must for lamb

Hope this helps
