Fashions change, and so do gardening trends. Again we find the old-time herbs of our grandmothers’ gardens in favor. Ameri- can homemakers are rediscovering the prac- tical value of herbs in cooking, and realizing that beauty and fragrance may be added to their flower borders by the planting of un- usual, decorative, and fragrant herbs.
Most herbs have simple requirements. Average, well-drained soil in full sun will suit most varieties listed, unless otherwise noted. May we suggest that the culinary herbs especially be planted where you will have easy and frequent access to them. Then, as the occasion arises, you may easily secure a few fresh leaves for your cooking needs, and many a delightful, appetizing dish will grace your table.
