Steal of the Week

I love herbs & really love to share them because 
they make such  purposeful gifts- even for brown thumbs!

Found this unbelieveable deal at Home Depot this weekend. 



Twenty bucks.


 Run in and snap one up for a aroma-licious teacher gift.

rosemary
humongous basil
jalapeno
oregano 
cilantro

Herb Week: Bay

Bay in large container




We know bay because of the leaf used in spaghetti sauce that my mother always told me I would die from if I swallowed it! Bay is a delightful evergreen herb used in soups, stews, and seasoning roasts.  Remember Old Bay seafood seasoning? Yes, it's there, too!

Bay is an impressive filler for bouquets & looks quite distinctive in Christmas wreaths. French chefs gather bay, parsley & thyme into a small bouquet known as bouquet garni.






This grand herb can be trimmed to appear shrub-like or coiffed in to topiary form for a more stately appearance. Remember that most herbs like moderately dry soil, direct sunlight, and adequate drainage.

We will definitely use Bay in our upcoming Herbal Wreath Workshop as a nice dark green filler!

See you
