Saving Money on Food: Grow Your Own Herbs

Most herbs are very hardy and will grow in the garden or in pots on a balcony or kitchen windowsill. Fresh herbs can make salads and other basic meals into a special treat. A pot of herbs make an excellent gift. 

These are my favourites

• Rosemary - an attractive, hardy bush.
• Thyme
• Chives
• Parsley
• Basil - fresh from the garden is the only way! Basil sets seed and comes up again and again

See Growing Gifts for some practical gifts for encouraging friends and relatives to begin growing their own herbs. Growing Gifts is based in Melbourne and delivers to Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast and most of regional Victoria only.
